AlbakiReads Editorial

A tiny fish and a borrowed hat

A small fish appears wearing a round blue hat that belongs to an enormous sleeping fish, setting up a simple underwater story about taking something and assuming there will be no consequences. The contrast between the tiny, confident hat-wearer and its much larger owner gives the premise its central tension. The publisher description also points to visual humor as a key part of the book’s appeal, alongside its spare, comic setup.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy animal stories.
  • Young readers drawn to visual humor and simple comic situations.
  • Families looking for a picture book built around a clear story premise.

Book overview

A New York Times bestseller!
The 2013 Caldecott Medal winner!

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.
