Francesca Simon, Guest Editor February 2021:"Stunning picture book about a little fish who has pinched a big fish’s hat, trying to convince himself that he’s got away with it. Meanwhile, the wronged fish is in hot pursuit. I actually screamed when the two adversaries vanish into the big, tall plants. My favourite kind of picture book, where words and pictures tell a subtly different story. Genius."

Best-selling illustrator Jon Klassen follows up his successful I Want My Hat Back in this witty, almost wordless picture book about a tiny fish who steals a hat from a very big fish – and hopes to get away with it. The eloquent but simple illustrations show the audacious behaviour of a hapless fish heading for disaster.
Young children will love the joke...and the fact that they know what the little fish doesn’t.
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.
