This book would best be used in a young elementary classroom, to teach students cause and effect of their actions. The students could point out what the main character did well and not so well.

Klassen's signature minimalist style and humor create a funny and thought-provoking tale about ownership, identity, and the consequences of our actions.
“No. Why are you asking me. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen any hats anywhere. I would not steal a hat. Don't ask me any more questions.”
This is an excellent book to read to children as you can review the bear is emotions. There are pages without words that leave it up for interpretation for the students. The ending of the story is left up for interpretation as well. Whether he sat on the rabbit, ate the rabbit, or the rabbit walked away.
pick“I Want My Hat Back” was published in 2011. This book is about a main character who is a bear, going around asking other animals if they have seen his hat. Every animal replies they have not seen his hat; however, it was on the rabbits head as he asked the rabbit. Once he still cannot find his hat he gets upset.
pickThe book‘s conclusion is as subtle as it is satisfying, leaving just enough ambiguity to spark conversation and laughter among young readers.
When a small fish takes a hat that doesn‘t belong to him, he‘s certain he‘ll get away with it. After all, the hat fits him perfectly, and the big fish doesn‘t even know it‘s gone—or so he thinks. But things aren‘t always as they seem in this witty and beautifully illustrated tale of bold decisions and unexpected consequences.
pickThis 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.
