The first book in the New York Times bestselling Pout-Pout Fish series from Deborah Diesen and illustrator Dan Hanna!
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 wearies" 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.
The Pout-Pout Fish is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
Deborah Diesen has worked as a bookseller, bookkeeper, and reference librarian. Her first book, The Pout-Pout Fish, was a New York Times bestseller and one of Time magazine’s Top 10 Children’s Books of the Year. She lives in Michigan with her family.
Alexander Gould was the voice of Nemo in Disney’s Finding Nemo and Bambi in Bambi II. Other voice-over work includes Curious George. He has appeared in many films and television series.
