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.
