Klassen, Jon. (2012). This is not my hat. Massachusetts: Candlewick Press
In this story a small fish steals the hat of a very large fish and isn't worried about getting caught. The little fish narrates the story telling his plan to go hide where the big fish won't find him. The little fish also justifies his actions, making it ok that he took the hat, even though it didn't belong to him. In the end, the big fish did find the little fish, and probably had a delicious snack before getting his hat back!
The text in the story is simple. Caldecott medal winner in 2013 for beautiful illustrations. The illustrations are very detailed. The illustrations are so expressive, it lets the reader know that the little fish isn't as confident as he sounds in the text. This would be a great book to read for young kids and talk about the moral of the story. I loved it!
