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.

★ "[A] rapid-fire comedy of piscine paranoia." Publishers Weekly, starred review

★ "A ribald and uproarious warning to those unschooled in fishy goings-on."
Kirkus, starred review

★ "With exceptional timing in a dry comic voice, veteran playwright and novelist Sharpson's picture-book debut is immersively silly fun, while award winner Santat's always-superb art lands at every possible visual punch line."
Booklist, starred review

★ “Sharpson and Santat's co-creation is a symbiotic marvel.” Shelf Awareness, starred review

★ “Wonderfully hilarious…
Don’t Trust Fish is an educational and highly entertaining delight, sure to inspire interest in oceanography and ichthyology—and lots of rereads.” BookPage, starred review

★ "A must for every library. It is accessible to young and old, wildly entertaining, and effortlessly instructive."
School Library Journal, starred review

“Consider a book that makes everybody, and I do mean everybody, laugh from the cover onwards. THAT, my friends, is a picture book worth celebrating! That is a rarity! That… is
Don’t Trust Fish.” —Betsy Bird, Fuse #8, School Library Journal

“Starting from an already comedic premise, this story goes gleefully off the rails, moving from funny to absolutely and wonderfully absurd, helped along by illustrations that build on jokes in previous spreads.”
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
