We Come in Peace To Eat You: A Journey Though the Food Chain

From the creators of the acclaimed My Presentation Today is About the Anaconda comes another hilarious illustrated nonfiction book from the mouths of the animals themselves -- this time about the food chain under the sea! Lots of laughs, rich animal information, and a new way of looking at the interlacing role of predators in the food chain will entice reluctant readers while enchanting natural science buffs at home, classroom, or library.

A peace movement that starts with krill soon moves to herrings, octopuses, smelts, gray gurnards, puffins, seals, orcas, and many more. And then of course, to the most dangerous animal of all....humans! Because humans don't play by the rules and don't respect the balance of the food chain. But maybe children could explain the problem to adults and help them solve it? After all, fish have heard that children live in schools, so they know they must be smart...
