The Pout-Pout Fish by Deborah Diesen
He’s the Pout-Pout fish with an “ever-present pout. Living deep in the water, where the fish hang out.” Yes, that is where he lives and in this rhyming book, a variety of ocean creatures arrive and try to brighten up this blue and purple fish but he greets them with a rhyming refrain about his pout-pout face spreading the dreary-wearies all over the place. Oh, he does look sad and weary swimming around in the ocean as his cheerful and hopeful friends arrive eager to bring joy into his life and he remains so until a silent silver shimmer comes gliding up to Pout-Pout. Without saying a word, she is able to change Pout-Pout from a pouting fish into someone his ocean friends will be happy to see. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Fun, rhyming book with bright illustrations.
