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?
Swim along with the pout-pout fish as he discovers that being glum and spreading "dreary wearied" isn't really his destiny. 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.
My sons' school shared this book with our family last year. It was part of their library time and they both loved it right away. This is a great tale of the unexpected learning of a down and out fish who does nothing but pout and mope about all day long. I love the rhyme that continues throughout the story and the bright illustrations that accompany this adorable tale of what happens when the pout-pout fish learns a lesson from a beautiful friend in the sea.
This is a great story to share poetry with young readers and writers. The predictable rhyme and repetition in this story assist young readers with "reading along."
