This Is Not My Hat

Klassen, J. (2012). This is not my hat.  Boston, MA:  Candlewick.

A tiny fish steals a hat from a big fish.  He knows it is wrong, but has decided to keep it.  He thinks he has gotten away with it.  He decides to go where the plants are big and tall and thinks no one will find him.  On his way, a crab sees him and tells the big fish.  The big fish finds him in the plants.  The big fish comes out with the hat and the fate of the little fish is left up to the reader to decide. The composition of this book works together to bring this book to life.  The color of dark illustrations show the mysterious ocean. The texture of the book has more of a digital illustration effect to stimulate the reader's mind.  You can teach children about  plot in this story.  For younger readers, you may use a plot graphic organizer with somebody, wanted, but, so, then.  After they fill it out, they can write a summary using the information.
