Don't Trust Fish
Don't Trust Fish
Don't Trust Fish by debut picture book author Neil Sharpson, and illustrated by National Book Award-winning creator Dan Santat, is an absurdly laugh-out-loud picture book about the villainy of fish.
Why, dear reader, must you NEVER EVER trust fish?
1) They spend all their time in the water where we can't see them.
2) Some are as big as a bus—that is not okay.
3) We don't know what they're teaching in their "schools."
4) They are likely plotting our doom.
This nature-guide-gone-wrong is a hilarious, off-the-rails exploration of the seemingly innocent animals that live in the water.
