I will never, ever get tired of deadpanning, hat-wearing, animals. I hope Klassen goes with this theme forever. In his newest book, which is broken down into small chapters, a turtle (in a bowler) has a favorite spot that is challenged by an armadillo (also in a bowler) and a snake (in a beret).  Basically, the animals just discuss spots they like to be in and then there’s a twist or two. His stories are so simple and funny and well written and his illustrations are so subtle and unique and also funny; I can’t gush about him enough. Recommended for everyone.
