I do not like this book and I do not agree with the message it sends to kids.
In this book, a small fish steals a hat from a big fish and, although he knows it is wrong, thinks he can get away with it. What kind of message does this send to kids? It’s ok to steal if you don’t get caught! There is a conscience though. The big fish EATS the little fish and gets his hat back! What message does that send? If you steal something from someone the person has a right to kill you?
This book is a Caldecott winner and the pictures are stunning. However, the brilliant pictures do not outweigh the story itself.
