Author: Deborah Diesen

Publisher: Farrar Straus
ISBN: 978-0-374-36097-9
In this animal fantasy book, a fish with a pouty face is swimming around. Other sea animals have conversations with the fish about why he has a pout on his face. He says to them that he is "a pout pout fish with a pout pout face and he spreads dreary-wearies all over the place". He continues to swim around and pout until he is kissed by another fish and his pout is turned around. Rather than spreading dreary-wearies, the fish then spreads cheery-cheeries all over the place. This book is a great board book for young children. The text is almost sound like. I considered it a fantasy book because animals can not talk, and fish can not give kisses. It is a great bedtime story, I read it to my son the other night. The illustrations are also very good and colorful. I give this book 4 stars.
This sounds like such a cute little book! I understand why you made it fantasy book because it gives human actions to the fish. So cute! I may have to pick this one up!
