Loved this book and the quirkiness of Klassen's humor; great inferences drawn from illustrations. A fun follow up to I Want My Hat Back.
A fabulous combination of understated, dark humor (what is it with Klassen and theft/murder?) and lovely artwork.
This one is a cute Caldecott winner I learned about in Children’s Lit. Cute, simple, silly story. I can imagine having conversations with Maisie in future about the story the pictures are telling
Finished the trilogy. This is the weakest of the three, but still delightful. Must reads for all kids.
Read in a target while someone else shopped. Delightful.
I love how the subtleties of the art tell so much of the story. We see the big fish sleeping, on the next page the little fish is explaining that the big fish probably won't wake up and the only difference in art is that the big fish's eye is now open. And I love that the color palette isn't all sparkly or neon or attention-grabbing. Hooray for subtle!
A tiny fish is wearing a hat which fits him perfectly. He has stolen it from a much larger fish. Funny ending!
A companion to "I Want My Hat Back", this story is told from the thief's point of view. A fish readily admits to stealing a whale's hat. He's not planning to return it and justifies the reasons why he should keep it. We are included in his escape plan, but we are also privy to what's happening behind him. As events unfold, we feel complicit in his demise. We knew what was bound to happen...but couldn't stop it.
As in "I Want My Hat Back" this sparks lots of discussion about ethics.
