It’s an exciting time for children’s comic books and here are 20 gems that will put a spring in the step of your young ones and keep them laughing and reading. by Neil Sharpson, illustrated by Dan Santat (Andersen Press) This picture book all about fish and why they are not to be trusted, by a debut Irish writer, is wonderfully funny. Fish don’t follow rules, the narrator says – they are rebels and outlaws and are secretly planning to take over the world.

There’s a clever twist at the end of the book when we discover who the narrator really is, and the illustrations by an award-winning American artist are full of witty details that help tell the story. A quirky gem, highly recommended. Age 4+.
