That's Not My Hat, Jon Klassen (Nordsued)

A small, cheeky fish steals a hat from a big, sleeping fish and is convinced that no one will notice. But the big fish wakes up, realizes what’s missing, and silently sets out in search of the hat thief. Page by page, he swims right to the spot where the little fish thinks he’s safe.

In this story, Jon Klassen plays a clever game with expectations: the words suggest one thing, and the illustrations contradict them the very next moment. With minimalist humor, subtle suspense, and masterful visual storytelling, this picture book instantly captivates children ages 4 and up and delights adults just as much.

A clever, funny, and visually striking book about courage, overconfidence, and the question of whether you can really remain undetected when you think you’re especially smart.
