| 2 | ''This Is Not My Hat'' is a picture book by Jon Klassen. It has a very similar premise to his earlier work ''Literature/IWantMyHatBack'', though the two stories are unrelated. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | In this story, a little fish is swimming as fast as he can. He explains that the hat that he is wearing does not belong to him. He stole it. But it's okay, because as soon as he can reach that big forest where all the trees grow close together, he will be safe and no one will ever find him. |

| 6 | However, the hat's rightful owner isn't as oblivious as the little fish would like to believe... |

| 10 | |
| 11 | * KarmaHoudini: The fish's goal is to disappear into the kelp forest with the stolen hat and never be found. [[spoiler:He fails, making this an aversion.]] |
| 12 | * MuggingTheMonster: The hat's rightful owner is much, much bigger than the tiny fish. |
| 13 | * NothingIsScarier: [[spoiler: The last page shows the larger fish with his hat back. The smaller fish's fate is unknown. Presumed, perhaps, but we don't see it.]] |
| 14 | * SmugSnake: The little fish, once he makes it to the kelp forest. |
| 15 | * SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: The crab tells the hat's owner where the fish went.]] |
| 16 | * TemptingFate: Throughout the story, the fish reassures himself that he'll be safe, that the hat's owner will never notice the hat is gone or figure out who took it. The illustrations show exactly the opposite. |
