From the publisher

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 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.
