"If you like your picture books laugh-out-loud funny and delightfully unhinged (and honestly, who doesn't?), Don't Trust Fish belongs front and center on your bookshelf. Neil Sharpson's latest is a cheeky, brilliantly structured romp with sharp comedic timing. Every page lands with laughs, chuckles, snorts, shrieks and groans, thanks in no small part to Dan Santat's cinematic, joyfully ridiculous illustrations that get funnier with every read."
"Every Monday, Mabel grabs a bowl of cereal and drags a chair out the front door and onto her family's driveway. Her family members either think she's weird, or adorable, or funny, but Mabel doesn't care. She loves what she loves and what she loves is the arrival of the garbage truck! "Gah-dump!" Bold colors and simple shapes give Mabel's passion the kind of respect that she doesn't get from her own family members."
