This guide consists of discussion questions and classroom extension activities that can be used when reading, teaching, or discussing I Want My Hat Back, This Is Not My Hat, and We Found a Hat (together or individually). Jon Klassen’s hat trilogy allows readers to think about literary components such as author’s craft, character traits, and text features and to use reading comprehension strategies such as comparing, contrasting, and drawing inferences. The questions and activities contained in this guide are designed to be used in any grade, whether the texts are read as a whole group, in a small group, or independently.

Excerpted from

This Is Not My Hat
This Is Not My Hat
By Jon Klassen

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.
