This is Not My Hat is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Jon Klassen.
Why I love this book: I haven't used this book yet in my class but it was recommended to me. The kids will eat this book up as it is engaging and it relates to right and wrong. The pictures do not always go along with the text which is exciting. They will have to hear the words and use the pictures to see what is really going on in the text.
Use as a mentor text: Predicting, Inferring, point of view, plot
Use for writing (writing prompts): Have you ever felt overconfident? Justify something you did that was wrong? How did the little fish justify why he has the hat? Write this story in the perspective of the large fish. Write a reflection if you were the crab.
