Title: You've GOT to be kidding!
Review: I have yet to meet a child who has actually seen a sardine, much less eaten one. This book, from concept to execution, is one of the worst examples of the picture book format I have ever seen, and, being a librarian, I've seen plenty. Despite what other reviewers have written, most children will not find humor or comfort in the story and will not be "uplifted" by the illustrations. Kids are "uplifted" by COWS IN THE KITCHEN or DOUBLE TROUBLE IN WALLA WALLA, not by the death of a fish. The book is dark, ugly and pretty much a waste of a tree.
