The Pout-Pout Fish

"Deep in the water
Where the fish hang out
Lives a glum gloomy swimmer
With an ever-present pout.
I'm a pout-pout fish
With a pout-pout face,
So I spread the dreary-earies
All over the place."
This book is a ton of fun! The illustrations of every unique kind of fish you could imagine are bright and colorful, and the rhyming and repetition make it fun to read out loud. This constantly glum fish travels through the ocean meeting one sea creature after another that think his "hulky-bulky sulking is an unattractive trait!" But he continues with the sulking anyway. That is, until one silent silvery shimmery fish convinces him to change his ways.
