AlbakiReads Editorial

A small fish, a borrowed hat, and a sleeping giant

A tiny fish appears wearing a blue hat that belongs to a much larger fish, who is still asleep. The little fish is confident the owner will not discover what happened, setting up a compact story built around the gap between that confidence and the obvious complication. Jon Klassen’s picture-book premise leaves room for visual humor, with the fish and the hat carrying the central joke. The book’s 40-page format and animal characters keep the focus on this single, clearly defined situation.

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.
