This Canadian author/illustrator lets the young readers in on the joke as the rather slow-witted bear searches for his missing hat, asking character after character. GQ magazine called the book "the most subtle endorsement of murder you'll ever find," No violence is shown, but the inference is there, which has led to some parents wanting the book banned. It's told completely in dialogue. Does it condone lying, stealing and revenge killing, or is it just a fun read? Check out I Want My Hat Back by Caldecott winner Jon Klassen.
