Først kom Har du set min hat, om bjørnen der har mistet sin røde, spidse hat. Så landende Det er ikke min hat, om en lille fisk, der har stjålet en blå bowlerhat. Og nu er der verdenspremiere på sidste bog i Jon Klassens trilogi om dyr og deres begær efter hatte ... Denne gang er det to skildpadder, der har fundet én hat. Og den er lige pæn til dem begge to. Hvad gør en klog, ja, hvad gør en ven?

"Den sjoveste billedbog jeg længe har læst! Både humor og pointe går lige ind hos læsere fra ca. 4 år og op ... Jon Klassen er en ener på billedbogsscenen. Han er en mester i underspillet humor." Bo Knudsen, DanskBiblioteksCenter»Det er ikke min hat. Jeg har lige stjålet den. / Jeg stjal den fra en stor fisk. / Mens den sov. / Og den vågner sikkert først om lang tid.« Sådan lyder i al sin enkelhed starten på Jon Klassens plaskende thriller om en lille tyvagtig fisk (og vi kan da godt røbe, at den store fisk vågner lige om lidt). Det er visuel svømmende humor for fuld skrue. Jon Klassens fortællinger om dyr og deres begær efter hatte (jvf. sidste års udgivelse Har du set min hat) går deres sejrsgang verden over – og det er helt fortjent.

Otilla er flygtet og løber nu dødtræt igennem sneen. I en øde lysning ligger et tilsyneladende forladt hus, måske hendes redning. Hun bliver budt indenfor af en meget beleven og høflig vært – et kranie. Imidlertid er kraniet også bange og på flugt hver eneste nat … Kan modige Otilla redde dem begge? Jon Klassen er kendt for sin karakteristiske skæve humor og uforlignelige evne til at tegne udtryksfulde øjne. I Kraniet tager han en drejning mod det spøgelsesagtige, gennemsyret af skygger og subtilt vid og skabt som et finkalibreret monokromatisk kunstværk. Alt sammen fordi Klassen huskede et tyrolsk folkeeventyr forkert. Eller rettere – på sin helt egen rigtige måde.

"Jon Klassen's signature wry humor takes a turn for the ghostly in this thrilling retelling of a traditional Tyrolean folktale. In a big abandoned house, on a barren hill, lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark forest, the lonely house beckons. Her host, the skull, is afraid of something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla save them both? Steeped in shadows and threaded with subtle wit--with rich, monochromatic artwork and an illuminating author's note--The Skull is as empowering as it is mysterious and foreboding." --

"Here comes The Rock from the Sky, a hilarious meditation on the workings of friendship, fate, shared futuristic visions, and that funny feeling you get that there's something off somewhere, but you just can't put your finger on it."--

Et grafisk mesterværk - en 98 siders kapitelinddelt billedbog, der begynder med et opslag, hvor vi hører den lille skildpadde med hatten proklamere: JEG KAN GODT LIDE AT STÅ HER. DET ER DET ALLERBEDSTE STED AT STÅ. JEG VIL ALDRIG STÅ ANDRE STEDER. Bæltedyret kommer til og spørger, hvad skildpadde laver? Og lige så sikkert som at skygge rimer på uhygge, så har bæltedyret en virkelig dårlig fornemmelse af stedet og vil hellere stå et andet sted … Dyrene vil muligvis forekomme læseren bekendte fra Jon Klassens andre bøger, fx Det er ikke min hat og Vi har fundet en hat, og vi kan løfte sløret for, at i Klippen fra himlen får de endda besøg fra rummet. Her er en billedbog, man ikke bliver hurtigt færdig med at opleve og fortolke! Den canadiske animator og illustrator Klassen – vinder af bl.a. den prestigefulde amerikanske Calcedott- og den britiske Kate Greenaway-medalje – er en slags ukronet verdensmester i at fortælle historier blot ved hjælp af øjnenes grafiske udtryk, og så har han en særlig evne til at gøre det uhyggelige hyggeligt og vice versa.
