Food chain - M. P Robertson

This simple, vivid story follows the food chain created when a naughty boy throws a goldfish down the toilet to see what happens. Little does he realise that the chain of events he starts will come back to haunt him: the goldfish is washed down the drain and reaches the sea, is eaten by a larger fish, and it in turn is eaten by a larger fish ... The chain eventually works its way round in a full circle with dramatic results. After eating fish and chips, the boy goes for a swim in the sea and is swallowed by a hungry whale - he only escapes when the whale squirts him out through its blowhole. In this memorably funny, quirky and clever picture book, readers see that thoughtless actions can have unexpected consequences. Written and illustrated by the successful author of many picture books it will delight young and old alike.
