Welcome to Litsy!

This book is fantastic. Finally a children‘s story that adults can appreciate too. I hope Baby Mavis grows to like it as much as me.

“I'm not sure what I am supposed to say about the fish who stole the hat.“

This book uses minimalistic illustrations and dry humor to teach an important lesson. It tells the story of a little fish who takes a hat that doesn't belong to him and the guilt that comes with.

This story explores themes of guilt and consequence with charm and wit that are important for children to recognize.

“There is someone who saw me already. But he said he wouldn‘t tell anyone which way I went.”

I don‘t think that I would use this book for lessons. Although it would be a fun book to read with a young class. I think they would get excited about it.

I really enjoyed this book. It is funny and sarcastic. I think this is a fun book for a wide range of ages.

“This hat is not mine. I just stole it. I stole it from a big fish. He was asleep when I did it.“

This quote was very important to the moral of the story and showed how even if you think someone wasn't paying attention they probably were.

This is a good book for children because it has a very important message about not stealing and lying. Lies have a way of catching up to you and you can't trust everyone to keep your secrets. That is how the big fish found out that he stole his hat he used context clues and asked around.

This is a good book for children and has a good message about not stealing!

The words were simple, but gave enough context to want to keep going to see where the fish was going to end up. The illustrations were simple, but told the story even more than the words did at some points.
My favorite quote was, “I know it's wrong to steal a hat. I know it does not belong to me. But I am going to keep it. It was too small for him anyways. It fits me just right.
I enjoy how the overall theme enforced the moral of not stealing.

“This is not my hat. I just stole it. I stole it from a big fish.”

I love the illustrations in this book! They‘re simple but vivid and almost look like pictures taken with a camera.

I really like how simple this book is. I think it does well to keep kids interested while being very silly. I don‘t know if I see a lesson to be learned in this book but I still really like the writing style.

“Nobody will ever find me“.

I enjoyed reading this story, but I mostly enjoyed looking at the illustrations. The illustrator has a way of pulling the reader into the story. I would use this story in a classroom to show students different styles of art.
