This is Not My Hat
I read This is Not My Hat by Jon Klassen as my second Caldecott winning book. This was great one. I thought the illustrations were well done and really liked the style. They look like cutouts and are very simple and aesthetically pleasing. The book uses irony to make it very funny and amusing for young kids. In the book a small fish steals a hat from a big sleeping fish and runs away bragging about how he'll never know and it will be easy for him to get away. Meanwhile the big fish is onto him and following him the whole time. Each page kind of switches back and forth between the small fish saying something and then the big fish contradicting that and pursuing him. It was really cute and I think it would be very entertaining for young kids. I definitely think this would be a great book for the elementary classroom.
