4.5 out of 5
In the succinct, matter-of-fact text and contradicting minimalist illustrations, Jon Klassen tells a darkly humorous tale that puts a lot of trust in the readers and their attention to details. Shifty eyes, subtle movements, and air bubble trails in This is Not My Hat are often worth a thousand words:
And the ending told entirely through three wordless doublespreads is unexpectedly shocking yet pitch-perfect. Or perhaps not that unexpected (though still shocking) if one is familiar with I Want My Hat Back, the first book in Klassen’s Hat Trilogy.
