The Pout-Pout Fish has quickly become a favorite in our house! The story is adorable, following a gloomy fish who learns he doesn’t have to spread his “dreary wearies” to others. The rhyming text is catchy and fun to read out loud—my little one loves the repetitive lines and chimes in with “Blub, bluuuub!” every time.
The illustrations are vibrant and engaging, with expressive characters that bring the underwater world to life. Beyond the fun, the book teaches an important message about positivity and spreading kindness, which makes it perfect for kids.
It’s a bit on the longer side for very young children, but the rhythm and playful language keep their attention. Definitely recommend this for any child’s library!

Ocean of optimism
"Pout-Pout Fish" by Deborah Diesen is a delightful underwater adventure that dives into themes of self-discovery, friendship, and the power of a positive outlook. 🐟 The protagonist, Mr. Pout-Pout Fish, initially sees himself as inherently gloomy, spreading "dreary-wearies" to everyone he encounters. However, as the story unfolds, he learns that he has the ability to change his perspective and bring joy to those around him.What makes this book truly special is its engaging rhyming narrative that effortlessly flows like the ocean waves. The repetition and rhythm not only captivate young readers but also make it an enjoyable read-aloud experience for parents. The whimsical illustrations by Dan Hanna complement the storyline beautifully, depicting the underwater world and its lively inhabitants with vibrant colors and expressive characters.As a parent, I appreciate how this book subtly introduces emotional intelligence. It teaches children about the influence of attitude on their interactions with others and promotes the idea that one has the power to shape their own narrative.
