Klassen, J. (2012). This is not my hat. Somerville: Candlewick Press.
A small fish takes a hat from a big fish while he is sleeping and thinks he can get away with it. Small fish plans on hiding in the plants which may keep him safe from the big fish. Just when he thinks he's safe, the big fish comes, with help from the crab,and takes his hat back. The reader is left to infer that big fish also ate him up. The moral of the story is never take anything that does not belong to you, or else trouble may follow. Klassen's illustrations follow the storyline well with his neutral color pictures. It's definitely a great lesson for children and all ages alike!
