Don't Trust Fish
Description

An absurdly laugh-out-loud funny picture book about the villainy of fish, illustrated by National Book Award-winning creator Dan Santat

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.

Starred Review

A ribald and uproarious warning to those unschooled in fishy goings-on.

Don't Trust Fish is the best!

I love Dan Santat's illustrations!!!
