Amelia McInerney, Adam Nickel
Who Fed Zed?
Allen & Unwin, 2021
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.
