Here is another fabulous picture book by Jon Klassen, the author of the very the very funny I Want My Hat Back.  I love the dark, dry humor in this and I Want My Hat Back.

A little fish has taken a very big fishes’ hat.  He swims confidently to the place where the plants grow big and tall and close together.  He is sure that the big fish will not know where he is and that the crab that saw him swim by will not tell the big fish where to find him.  Oops.  This book has great pacing and is perfect for my “too old for picture books” students.  They love it as do I.

Jon Klassen is also the illustrator of Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett, one of my favorite picture books.  C
