From the creator of the #1 New York Times best-selling and award-winning I Want My Hat Back comes a second wry tale.
When a tiny fish shoots into view wearing a round blue topper (which happens to fit him perfectly), trouble could be following close behind. So it’s a good thing that enormous fish won’t wake up. And even if he does, it’s not like he’ll ever know what happened. . . . Visual humor swims to the fore as the best-selling Jon Klassen follows his breakout debut with another deadpan-funny tale.
From Barnes & Noble
That fish seldom wear hats will not spoil the pleasures of Jon Klassen’s new picture book. At its heart is a felonious little fish who has pilfered the blue topper of a much larger fish who appears to be slumbering. When the theft is detected, the smaller fish attempts to defend his larceny, but as the picture book ends, restitution seems at hand or, pardon, at flipper. A fine follow-up to the author’s award-winning I Want My Hat Back.
