THIS IS NOT MY HAT.
Edition: First printing.
Somerville, MA: Candlewick Press, (2012.) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - When a tiny fish wearing a round blue topper confides that 'This hat is not mine, I just stole it" trouble could be a lot closer than he thinks. From the Booklist starred review: "...deadpan humor, and a suggestively dark conclusion. The simple, dramatic tension and macabre humor that's right at a kid's level of deviousness mesh splendidly with Klassen's knack for tiny, telling details and knockout page turns. Who knew hat thievery was such a bottomless well?" SIGNED by Klassen opposite the title page with a small drawing of the crab from the story. Winner of the Caldecott Award (among other honors) and a book which is destined to be a true children's classic. Unpaginated, oblong format. ISBN: 9780763655990.
Condition: Fine in fine dust jacket (a new copy, in the first issue dust jacket without the Caldecott medallion)
