dark funny informative medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The illustrations look like watercolors and are beautiful. This the second work in a trilogy that I’m working through. 

The story is so dark! It’s a story of theft and
retribution told from the point of view of the thief
.
funny tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Nothing will ever live up to I Want My Hat Back, but this is a close second.

Children's books always bring me a special kind of joy, so I always include a few of them in my reading challenges.
John Klassen's books have that witty, simple humour that amuses both children and adults.
I can't wait to read the last book in the trilogy!

In short, This is Not My Hat was a disappointing follow-up to I Want My Hat Back. For my full review, see here.

I don't know if it's because the idea here is repeated or what, but I liked the first one more.

Brilliant all around

it doesn't go well for the hat-stealer.

Love.
