Louis the Fish – Arthur Yorinks (1984, illustrated by Richard Egielski)

This quirky and surreal picture book tells the story of Louis, a weary butcher who—after years of disliking his job—transforms into a salmon. With deadpan humor and Egielski’s bold, graphic illustrations, Yorinks crafts a modern fable about burnout, identity, and the freedom of embracing change (no matter how bizarre).

For Fans of Oddball Picture Books:

The Stinky Cheese Man – Jon Scieszka – Fractured fairy tales with a side of chaos.
Hey, Al – Arthur Yorinks & Richard Egielski – Another surreal duo-collab (and Caldecott winner).
The Incredible Painting of Felix Clousseau – Jon Agee – Absurdity meets art history.

“A midlife crisis, served raw.”
