"If you like your picture books laugh-out-loud funny and delightfully unhinged (and honestly, who doesn’t?), Don’t Trust Fish belongs front and center on your bookshelf. Neil Sharpson’s latest is a cheeky, brilliantly structured romp with sharp comedic timing. Every page lands with laughs, chuckles, snorts, shrieks and groans, thanks in no small part to Dan Santat’s cinematic, joyfully ridiculous illustrations that get funnier with every read. Add a clever twist ending and you’ve got a story destined for the pantheon of hilarious picture books. Don’t Trust Fish is an instant classic. You’ve been warned. (For ages 3 to 7)"
