THE POUT-POUT FISH MATCTING, COUNTING, AND FINE MOTOR

THE POUT-POUT FISH 

by Deborah Diesen

Mr. Fish swims through the ocean with a permanent downward pout, loudly proclaiming his gloomy disposition to other sea creatures who try to cheer him up. Dismissing their advice, he insists he is stuck with his attitude. That is, until a silvery, quiet fish swims up and gives him a big, unexpected kiss. The gesture helps Mr. Fish realize he isn't a "pout-pout fish," but rather a "kisskiss fish" meant to spread joy. Amazon Book Review
