A zany picture book about Ted, Ned and Fred, Fred's dog, Jed, and Fred's fish, Zed, from the hilarious author of The Book Chook and the illustrator of the phenomenally successful No One Likes a Fart.
Zed the fish is white and red.
His poo hangs down in one long thread.
The main thing, though, is what Fred said,
'NEVER, EVER FEED ZED BREAD.'
A darkly comic story about a pet in peril that pays homage to classic picture books such as Fish Out of Water, from an exciting creative team working together for the first time.

Industry Reviews
'McInerney is fast becoming one of the queens of humorous rhyming picture books.' The Canberra Times
'Being both fun and educational, such jokey homonym word-play as this could easily be set for lively poetry activities at home or school.' Magpies
'a darkly comic story which will start a conversation about food intolerances/allergies and the importance of food labelling ... Zany and vivid illustrations have a vintage, almost comic-book feel, and the characters' subtle but funny facial expressions heighten the humorous story.' Booktrust UK
