This Is Not My Hat

Jon Klassen

4.31 AVERAGE


What happened to the little fish at the end, man? What happened to the little fish at the end?

I don't know why I find these Jon Klassen hat-related books so hilarious, but they really amuse me, so I have to assume children would be into them as well.

Helt sykt slutt. Hakeslepp.

I read this at Toys R Us, while I was searching for birthday gifts. I liked the story and the illustrations, but I didn't buy it because I think my niece might find the ending too scary. She's still little. I think older kids would like this one, though. Bonus: Toys R Us has signed copies (at least, mine did).

The brief tale of a tiny, larcenous fish. Definitely a fun story time read, this book was made for sharing with a group of kids.

Another [b:I Want My Hat Back|11233988|I Want My Hat Back|Jon Klassen|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327888784s/11233988.jpg|16160067] book.

Understated and wry, with humor that may be lost on those under eight (and dealing with mature issues such as theft by fishes).

The crab steals the show.

*3.5

A very simple story that keeps moving forward. A small fish has stolen a hat, not from any fish, but a gigantic fish. He thinks he can get away with it. In the end we see the big fish with the hat and we don’t see the small fish.

It’s a cute story that is mostly told like a wordless book. There are words, but not so many. The artwork is lovely and fun and it reads quickly. It almost looks like paper cutouts of the things in the book.

The kids thought this was fun. The nephew said, ‘he got eaten’ and he thought that was funny. There is also a lobster in here and he loved the lobster. He gave it 5 stars. The niece thought it was a good story and she gave it 3 stars.

I did not know this was part of a trilogy. Now I have to read the first book in the series.

Ironic and low key morbid!
