The Pout-Pout Fish

Swim along with the pout-pout fish as he discovers that being glum and spreading "dreary wearies" isn't really his destiny.

"Deep in the water,
Mr. Fish swims about
With his fish face stuck
in a permanent pout.

Can his pals cheer him up?
Will his pout ever end?
Is there something he can learn
From an unexpected friend?"

So goes this tale about friendship, emotions and dealing with life's inevitable troubles. Bright ocean colors and playful rhyme come together in this fun fish story that's sure to turn even the poutiest of frowns upside down.

Deborah Diesen brings us her first book, The Pout Pout Fish, which has now become a timeless classic for multiple generations of children.
