TITLE: This is Not My Hat
AUTHOR: Jon Klassen
YEAR: 2012
This 2012 Caldecott winner is a big crowd-pleaser. A small, over-confident fish confesses to stealing a little hat from a big sleeping fish, as he swims from page to page trying to justify the theft ("it was too small for him anyway") and thinking he has gotten away with it. Meanwhile, the reader sees the big fish hot on his trail, and when the two disappear into a tangle of seaweed, only the big one emerges, wearing the hat. This had the kids in stitches.
