《This Is Not My Hat》講述一隻小魚在海底犯了個小小的罪——他知道他在犯罪——卻仍逍遙法外。他想了A理由來欺騙自己;A理由失效時,又拿出備用的B理由出來……他找到一個自認安全無虞的地方躲了起來,並麻煩小蝦幫忙保密。然隨著受害魚的覺醒,小魚又該如何是好呢?受害魚又會怎麼做呢?會大吵一架、吃掉對方、報告老師、報警處理還是理性溝通呢?作者留給大家的討論空間非常大,小朋友們可從中學習何謂僥倖及應不應該抱持投機心態過生活。

This is a picture book debut by a rising talent that tells a cumulative tale with a cheeky twist, aided by graphically simple, and truly hilarious, illustrations. The bearˊs hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. But just as it he begins to lose hope, lying flat on his back in despair, a deer comes by and asks a rather obvious question that suddenly sparks the bearˊs memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Told completely in dialogue, this quirky take on the classic repetitive tale plays out in sly illustrations laced with visual humour and winks at the reader with a wry irreverence that will have kids of all ages thrilled to be in on the joke. This title comes from an exciting new author/illustrator talent, previously an artist for Dreamworks Feature Animation. It features subversive humour sure to please children and adults. It is perfect as a read aloud.
