I Want My Hat Back

I Want My Hat Back is a picture book by Jon Klassen.

Bear is looking for his hat, and goes to the creatures of the forest in turn asking whether they've seen it. This includes Rabbit, who definitely didn't take the hat and would never steal anyone's hat.

This book contains the following tropes

 * Dull Surprise: All of the animals have the same deadpan expression, including Bear.
 * Eureka Moment:
 * Suspiciously Specific Denial: Have you seen my hat?
 * No. Why are you asking me. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen any hats anywhere. I would not steal a hat. Don't ask me any more questions.
 * Nice Hat: It is indeed a nice hat and Bear would do anything to get it back.
 * Space Whale Aesop: Don't steal, or else.
 * Wham Line:
 * Space Whale Aesop: Don't steal, or else.
