Don't Trust Fish

Neil Sharpson, illustrated by Dan Santat

What begins as an informational book about animals takes an increasingly dramatic turn toward warnings about fish. The narrator presents fish as suspicious and untrustworthy, pushing the claim into absurd territory. Alongside animal information and humor, the picture book draws attention to the difference between facts and fiction, the role of bias, and whether a narrator can be relied upon.
