Bookroo's summary

A tiny fish boldly swims away with a hat that fits him perfectly. He believes the enormous fish he took it from will never notice. But as he glides through the water, the question looms: can he really get away with it? Dive into this tale of stealth and humor, where the smallest actions can lead to the biggest adventures.

From the publisher

The 2013 Caldecott Medal winner!

From the creator of the #1 New York Times best-selling and award-winning I Want My Hat Back comes a second wry tale.

When a tiny fish shoots into view wearing a round blue topper (which happens to fit him perfectly), trouble could be following close behind. So it’s a good thing that enormous fish won’t wake up. And even if he does, it’s not like he’ll ever know what happened. . . . Visual humor swims to the fore as the best-selling Jon Klassen follows his breakout debut with another deadpan-funny tale.
