Description



About the Book



The pout-pout fish believes he only knows how to frown, even though many of his friends suggest ways to change his expression, until one day a fish comes along that shows him otherwise.



Book Synopsis



A major motion picture based on the books coming soon!

A New York Times Bestseller
A TIME Magazine Top Ten Children's Book

Turn little pouts into big smiles with the splashy first book in the New York Times bestselling Pout-Pout Fish series!

Deep in the water,
Mr. Fish swims about
With his fish face stuck
In a permanent pout.

Can his pals cheer him up?
Will his pout ever end?
Is there something he can learn
From an unexpected friend?

Swim along with Mr. Fish as he discovers that being glum and spreading "dreary wearies" isn't really his destiny. Bright ocean colors and playful rhymes come together in this fun fish story that's sure to turn even the poutiest of frowns upside down.
