| The Pout-Pout FishThe Pout-Pout Fish introduces a fish with a pouty mouth and a gloomy attitude. His ocean-dwelling friends try to cheer him, but he resists their efforts, claiming "I'm a pout-pout fish/With a pout-pout face/So I spread the dreary-wearies/All over the place." Eventually, one special friend helps the Pout-Pout Fish turn his "dreary wearies" into "cheery-cheeries." A Time Magazine's Top 10 Children's Books of 2008, the book's "...winning artwork...ooze personality" (Kirkus Reviews). |
