Is there something he can learn
From an unexpected friend?

    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!

    I bought this book on a whim as it appears in a lot of recommended reading lists for young children.
    It’s an excellent read, so much fun and always brings a smile to my 1 year olds face when I shower him with kisses at the end. Lots of opportunities for the reader to put on their best pouty voice and get involved in the story!
    I have read some negative feedback regarding this encouraging lack of consent behaviour on a different forum. (All a bit OTT if you ask me)
    No I’m sorry I just don’t get that perspective at all.
    Highly recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars So cute and fun!
    Reviewed in Canada on October 18, 2018
    I just adore this book! It's so fun to read and it quickly became one of my young toddlers favourites. It's a fun book to do silly voices with, and the pictures are bright, colourful, and expose your child to underwater creatures they might not typically see.
    I'm quite picky about the books I buy my son because he loves being read to; so after you've read him the book the first time, you have to immediately read it 10 more times after that, and then numerous times every other day! - so I try to find something that remains engaging for me as well. This book is well written with a great rhythm. I haven't looked into buying any of the other pout-pout books, but I would do so in a heartbeat if they are as well done as this one.
