review 1: This book not only has fun illustrations, but assist young children with emotional development. This book displays different emotions that the fish goes through. Throughout the story, the fish displays emotions such as being pouty and angry. By the end of the story, his friend tells him to be happy, so the fish smiles. I would incorporate this book into my classroom as a read aloud. Some students need to be reminded that we need to smile, although it is ok to be sad or show different emotions.
review 2: Adorable, short, sweet and little baby hands friendly! Pout-Pout Fish is a new favorite in this house! My older boys, 8 and 10 years old, found Pout-Pout Fish to be quite amusing. They enjoyed the simple story and amazing illustrations. And the trailer, is quite... more catchy. They have been singing it non-stop for their baby brother for weeks now. My youngest is almost 8 months old - the board book is small enough for him to sit with and easily flip the pages. He stares and giggles, especially when we read the one line sentences on each page with a funny voice to fit Mr. Fish's mood. What I love most about Deborah Diesen's books is that they're so easy for small children to follow along and remember. After a few reads they're sure to memorize the story and can follow along by pointing to the words, helping them to learn how to read at an earlier age.We also love Dan Hanna's whimsical pictures that fit the story perfectly without too much detail or overwhelming colors. Remember, no matter what, you can always make a pouty face smile - especially with Mr. Fish around! less
