James lives in a little wooden house beside the sea.

Where could they be? James might just find that his friends are closer to home than he thinks.
An absurdly laugh-out-loud picture book about the villainy of fish. Why, dear reader, must you NEVER EVER trust fish? 1) They spend all their time in the water where we can't see them. 2) Some are as big as a bus-that is not okay. 3) We don't know what they're teaching in their "schools." 4) They are likely plotting our doom. This nature-guide-gone-wrong is a hilarious, off-the-rails exploration of the seemingly innocent animals that live in the water.
