This Is Not My Hat is a 2012 children's picture book and winner of the Caldecott Medal in 2013 by Jon Klassen. The book details a little fish attempting to outwit a much larger fish in a hilarious and funny tale. While the pictures and text are simple, the attention to detail and composition of all the elements makes this a marvelous book.

Jack and Fred said they had wanted to sign up since kids but were scared. So we all signed the paper and gave him what he needed.

March 22, 2006, should have been a regular Wednesday for me. Me being in first grade, a regular Wednesday was to wake up at 8 a.m. to my father turning on my lights, and spiritedly but annoyingly singing, “Wake up, wake up!” Wincing at the light and my father's terrible voice, I was always able to wake up in order to shut him up.

Next thing he knew, he has found himself scrolling on an LED screen which entranced him as if he knew nothing more.

Pandemic Death So It started when I was young about nine years of age and it was early in the year 1350. It started a little like this, there was a knock on the door and I got up to go see who it was. When I opened the door there was a man on his horse.
