"[A] rapid-fire comedy of piscine paranoia"

Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Consider a book that makes everybody, and I do mean everybody, laugh from the cover onwards. THAT, my friends, is a picture book worth celebrating! That is a rarity! That… is I Don’t Trust Fish ... Dan [Santat]’s a funny guy... and [he's] on fire with this."

SLJ (School Library Journal)

A laugh-out-loud picture book all about fish and how we absolutely must not trust them, illustrated by New York Times bestseller and Caldecott Medal-winning Dan Santat. Have you ever noticed that fish spend all of their time under water? What are they plotting down there? And did you know that a group of fish is called a ‘school’? Exactly what are they learning in these ‘schools’? We must find answers. But one thing’s for sure. Whatever you do: Don’t. Trust. Fish. Laugh along as you learn lots of fishy facts from a very suspicious narrator, who believes that there’s something more than a bit fishy about fish… Prepare to laugh, learn, and maybe even look at your pet goldfish a little differently. With deadpan humour from celebrated Irish author and playwright Neil Sharpson that will be loved by children and grown-ups alike, perfect for fans of Jon Klassen’s I Want My Hat Back and B. J. Novak’s The Book with No Pictures.
