Very clever. I wondered if the kids at storytime would "get" it and/or be scared by it. The sharper and older ones definitely got it, and found it funny.
emotional

I thought this book was hilarious, not your average picture book!

I find this a very surprising Caldecott winner. The illustrations are lovely, very interesting and expressive. The story is strange though, why did the small fish steal the hat? What happens in the end, is he eaten? It seems a bit heavy for a children's book, and did not feel award worthy to me at all.

An absolutely amazing book. I love it so much. I have read it multiple times to children, teens, and even adults. The fact you have to pay attention to the pictures in the story to understand the true meaning of the story is fantastic. I absolutely love it, and I will always read it when given an opportunity.
