“This is not my hat. I just stole it. I stole it from a big fish.”
I love the illustrations in this book! They‘re simple but vivid and almost look like pictures taken with a camera.

pickI really like how simple this book is. I think it does well to keep kids interested while being very silly. I don‘t know if I see a lesson to be learned in this book but I still really like the writing style.
#CryWolf I feel like Pierre is a modern take on this fable, and by far my favorite version of the story is done by Amanda Palmer early in her Dresden Dolls career https://youtu.be/aenwwEx1LcA?feature=shared

I enjoyed reading this story, but I mostly enjoyed looking at the illustrations. The illustrator has a way of pulling the reader into the story. I would use this story in a classroom to show students different styles of art.
pickThis book won the Caldecott Medal in 2012. The book is about a small fish who steals a hat but does not think they will get caught with the hat. The fish walks the readers through what they are thinking as they go through their plan. The illustrations are simple but they convey the story well. The illustrations make it seem like you are really there.
This is a very light-hearted and enjoyable read. It offers the opportunity for the reader to make inferences of the big fish's feelings and actions based solely on the illustrations.
pickPublished in 2012, receiving the Caldecott award. This story is told through the point of view of the little fish, who has stolen a hat from a big fish. The little fish depicts how he believes the big fish will react to the theft, while the pictures depict the thoughts, feelings, and actions of the big fish in the pursuit to reclaim his hat.
