Klassen, J. (2012). This is not my hat. Boston, MA: Candlewick press.
Little fish has a new hat. But it is not his hat. It is big fish's hat. If little fish can make it to the safety of the tall sea weed he may be able to keep the hat. Will the crab he passed keep his secrret? Not when faced with big fish! Tall sea weed or not big fish wants his hat back. Little fish may be fast, but big fish eventually catches up. Soon big fish has his hat back, but what has happened to little fish?
Klassen uses basic geometric shapes to create his under water world. Ovals dominate the leaves of the sea weed as well as forming the bodies of all the sea creatures. He also uses a large amount of black to give the reader a sense of how large and vast the bottom of the ocean is- you may never see what is coming!
