The Pout-Pout Fish Description
From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2-In Deborah Diesen's light-hearted picture book (Farrar, Straus, 2008), poor Pout-Pout Fish who wears a frown feels that it's his duty to spread the "dreary-wearies" in the deep dark sea. But is this really his destiny? In this upbeat romp through the ocean floor, Pout-Pout Fish encounters a myriad of ocean friends who try to talk him out of his bad mood with fun and encouraging advice. The bright and bold cartoon illustrations by Dan Hanna accompany Diesen's amusing rhythmic text. Alexander Gould (the voice of Nemo in Finding Nemo) skillfully narrates the text. Page-turn signals are optional. A good choice for school and public library collections.-Amy Joslyn, Fairport Public Library, NYα(c) Copyright 2011.
