“The Pout-Pout Fish” quickly became a beloved favorite in our household. With its rhythmic storytelling, poignant message, and vibrant illustrations, it effortlessly outshone all other bedtime stories. What sets it apart is its versatility – I found myself changing tones and genres as I “sang”, turning it into a country song, a rap, a ballad, and more, to keep the storytelling fresh and engaging. My family adores this book so much that it’s become a must-have gift for expecting parents. It’s a true gem that brings joy and creativity to bedtime routines. ♥️ this book!

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!

E um livro muito fofo é gostoso de ler, mas como já mais diálogos não sei se funcionará como o meu bebê, talvez com bebês maiores.

“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. The transformative journey of Mr. Pout-Pout Fish instills a valuable lesson about resilience and the potential for positive change. 📚✨

Our 22 month old granddaughter loves this book, and we do, too. It is written so cleverly, rhymes but not typical sing-song.
