Jon Klassen’s book, This is Not My Hat works well in board book format. A story of a small fish who steals a big fish’s hat for themselves, sure that they will not be caught. The illustrations are stark against the dark background and the expressions of the animals involved in the plotline are all engaging and humorous. When the words stop, the pictures continue to tell the story, allowing the reader to decide how the book ended. Good for a slightly older picture book audience, the board book format might turn off the readers who believe they’ve grown out of board books, but the topic is definitely suited for kids more tuned into inference.
