Two New Reviews!

Hello hello hello!

Two new reviews have dropped for Don’t Trust Fish!

In a starred review, Kirkus says: “Sharpson offers so-fish-ticated readers a heads up about the true terror of the seas. His delightful text, filled to the brim with jokes that read aloud brilliantly, pairs perfectly with Santat’s art, which shifts between extreme realism and goofy hilarity.”

And Betsy Bird has written an absolute sweetheart of a review at the School Library Journal: “There are some picture books that you read that make you chuckle when you see the cover. There are some picture books where they might get one legitimate laugh out of the adult reader. There are some picture books that are funny to young readers. Now 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 Don’t Trust Fish.”

  1. With that title I keep thinking of this line from your Watership Down review-

    “Some were good. Some were terrible. Some were about fish.”

    It implied fish books are not real books, and you are giving us a warning that this is all a prank.

    You have done April Fools pranks on us before (but unlike most yours are actually funny).
