Bookroo's summary

When Peter Alan invites sea creatures to visit, he doesn't expect a rodeo with a bull shark or a slimy fish invasion. What starts as fun quickly spirals into chaos. Can Peter handle the wild antics of his aquatic guests, or will he learn a valuable lesson about wishes? Dive into a world of playful puns and surreal illustrations, where over 30 fish species make a splash. This whimsical tale promises laughter and a gentle reminder: be careful what you wish for!

From the publisher

Peter Alan wants to have some fish over for a visit, but what happens when the creatures of the sea take him up on his offer? Something fishy, of course! At first, their visit is all fun and games, but then, things really start to get out of hand? Watch out for a bucking bull shark at the rodeo, the invasion of a slimy school of fish, and many other playful pictorial puns hidden in these striking, surrealistic illustrations. An endpaper identifying over 30 species of fish appearing in the book is an educational bonus. Here is a fantastic flight of fancy that every child will savor, with a subtle message: Be careful what you wish for!
