46. Don’t Trust Fish!
Neil Sharpson & Dan Santat

Starting with classification of animals, this descends into a hilariously paranoid rage against fish and why they aren’t to be trusted. Dan Santat’s illustrations are a joy too. Genius stuff.

so SO delighted to see that @andersenpress.bsky.social have reissued this! it's a lovely, lovely thing and I have nothing but love for it. if you love a Streatfeild / EBD / classicy yummy children's vibe, you'll love it too.
Ten years ago this book came out and I went to see it in Waterstones and went visibly all funny. Tomorrow it comes out AGAIN. Hot dog. Different cover now, up to date and all that, but the same good ol’ autistic heart. Maybe you should read it or something. @andersenpress.bsky.social

I laughed aloud a lot. I then shared it with my boys and we all laughed aloud even more. LOVE that Dan's given space to flex his own take on Neil's words

Look at this gorgeous beast. Out next Thursday thanks to @andersenpress.bsky.social - in time for almost all of Autism Acceptance Month. The cover is extremely pleasing and you should judge the book by it.

All at Andersen Press are saddened to hear of the death of author Alex Wheatle. Alex was one of the true greats of children’s fiction. He knew how to connect with kids and bring stories to life. His passing is a great loss to all who knew and admired him.
