Review:
The illustrations in this book are my favorite part of the book. we see a little fish traveling after possible stealing a hat. The ending is unexpected, but funny. The illustrations also follow along well and add to the text.
Blurb:
This book would be good in a prek to 3rd grade class room. It is funny with good art.

This is a cute book I would recommend for a younger audience. It is about a small fish stealing a hat off a larger fish who is sleeping. A crab witnesses the scenario go down and the big fish goes out to find the little fish. The little fish claimed he knew it was wrong but he believed that the hat was too small for the larger fish so he wanted to take it. This story won the Kate Greenaway Award and was published in 2012.

This book is written and illustrated by Jon Klassen. It is about a little tiny fish who decides to steal a bog fishes hat while he is sleeping. He thinks the big fish will not notice, and if he does, he will not know it was the little fish, but if he does know it was little fish, he will not be able to find him. Little fish runs away to go find big plants to hid in where he can not be seen, on the way he tells one crab, who he thinks will not tell

“I know it‘s wrong to steal a hat. I know it does not belong to me. But I am going to keep it”

Quick read about a fish who steals from another fish and thinks he will get away with it. Good book to talk about morals and cheating/lying. Dark pictures depict being deep down in the ocean. This book won the Caldecott medal in 2013.

This book had very dark illustrations. It definitely teaches a good lesson about stealing but it seems too little of wording and very short for such a big lesson in life.

“I know it‘s wrong to steal a hat”

The fish who stole the hat!

This was a picture book where the pictures told us a major part of the story without words on the pages. I really enjoy books like these because children can interpret it themselves.

Caldecott award winning picture book, published 2012. This book is an easy read with very cool illustrations. This book told the story of a fish who stole a hat and thinks he will get away with it, even though the whole time the big fish who he stole the hat from is following him. He still stole the hat after he knew it was wrong. This story is great to use with young children when teaching not to steal from people.

“There is someone who saw me already. But he said he wouldn‘t tell anyone which way I went”

I like how the book ended on just the picture of the big fish with the hat. I think they will portray really well to children.

This book is a really great book for young children. It teaches them the importance of the lesson not to steal/take things that do not belong to you. It also portrays the message that things will always come back to you.

“And look I made it! Where the plants are big and tall and close together!”

This books is easy to follow and makes it easier to see what would happen next. Very good for conversations about honesty and the consequences of lying.

This book is beautifully illustrated with little words per page. It allows time to admire the artwork and makes it easy to infer what will happen next. It gives a good leeway to discuss honestly and the idea of just because you can does not mean you should.

A delightful remedy to murdery-book-disappointment. A delicious hint of sinister adding spice to the beautiful art and simple narrative. #picturebook

This is Not My Hat is a great MF book to teach students about honestly, good decision making, and inferencing. During a RA, students can stop and discuss with one another what they infer is going to happen next in the story; aligning with EL strategy 10- teach think, pair and share strategies in cooperative groups. After reading the story, students can work to create their own ending of what they believe happened to the fish, using this resource:

This MF (animal fantasy) book is so cute and I thought it was kind of funny! It‘s a Caldecott Award winner. I think it is great to teach kids about honesty! #UCFLAE3414SP21 I think a great activity would be to turn this book into a play! I got the idea from https://www.teachingideas.co.uk/library/books/this-is-not-my-hat

A tiny fish has #found a hat. Though he knows it belongs to someone else—it does fit him perfectly, and such a #vibrant shade of blue...Perhaps he can get away with it! ❤️Jon Klassen!

I would use this in my classroom because children would really enjoy the humor in the story.

“This hat is not mine. I stole it. From a big fish“

“This hat is not mine. I stole it. From a big fish“

I would use this in my classroom because the kids would enjoy the pictures and the humor in this book.

The illustrations in this award winner are very interesting and unique. The authors' style is original and will have the students engaged in the book.

This book is a very easy to read so I would suggest that it be for a younger audience.

This hat is not mine.
I just stole it.

This is Not My Hat is a Caldecott medal winner. This is because of its vastly simplistic yet beautiful style. There is nothing too sophisticated about what is put on the these pages but it is no doubt appealing to all eyes.
