Fish

Don’t Trust Fish by Neil Sharpson

I know a family whose surname is Fish, and I have mightily amused them with the science/nature book Why Fish Don’t Exist. They are going to get a kick out of this one too. I love when science facts get presented in such a cheeky way, and the hint at the end that really this entire book may not be written by humans just compounds that mirth.

A Spark in the Dark by Pam Fong

This is a lovely book. Beautifully written and illustrated, it talks about darkness and hope in ways both children and adults can appreciate. And yes, I teared up at the end.
