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

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

ONE OF SLATE'S 25 GREATEST PICTURE BOOKS OF THE PAST 25 YEARS
ONE OF BOOKPAGE'S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, BookPage, Booklist, School Library Journal, Book Riot, Chicago Public Library, NPR

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.
Neil Sharpson lives in Dublin with his wife and their two children. A veteran playwright and novelist, Neil was inspired to write his first picture book, Don't Trust Fish, when he realized someone needed to warn the world about the villainy and unpredictability of fish. Don't Trust Fish was a national bestseller and received six starred reviews. Ever dedicated to helping humans understand animals, Neil was inspired to write his second picture book, Help! I'm Being Eaten by a Bear when he realized someone needed to prepare the world for unexpected bear encounters.

Dan Santat is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of over a hundred books, including the National Book Award winning graphic memoir A First Time for Everything. His picture book The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend received the Caldecott Medal. He also illustrated The Blur, Lift, and Drawn Together, written by Minh Lê, which received critical acclaim. Dan is also the creator of the Disney animated hit The Replacements. He lives in Southern California with his family. View titles by Neil Sharpson
