“Fans of this series will appreciate Diesen's rhythmic - and ultimately reassuring - text, and Hanna's sunny illustrations contain many clever details.” ―Booklist

I absolutely LOVE this book. My daughter is nervous about starting school so, since we love the original pout pout fish book, I got this to help calm her nerves. It is so sweet. Absolutely buy this for any kid starting school or struggling in school.

    This is a great story for any kid entering school for the first time. Pout pout fish gets a boost of confidence and support after much worrying about his first time at school! Relatable for young learners and a great book with rhyme and repetition. Pout Pout Fish is a family favorite and this story is right up there with the original.

    As a mom, and a teacher, this book made me tear up the first time I read it with my son. My son is just starting preschool and he adores this book. We read it at least 4 times a week. The rhymes and the illustrations keep his attention, and I feel like every time I read it I notice something new in the illustrations too. Great book. Highly recommend! Also— I teach third grade and I would still consider reading this to them as well. Suitable for younger kids through lower level elementary in my opinion.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Read the book through a child's eyes and ears and it makes perfect sense
    Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I had to roll my eyes at some of the reviews and "messaging" that were written.
    NO WHERE in the book does pout pout fish say "he's stupid"
    He says "I am not smart", "I'll never get it", "I don't belong" "I should forget it"
    Upon entering his first day of school, he gets lost and doesn't know where to go. Peering in shyly to other classrooms, he feel he doesn't belong because everyone is working on projects/activities that are way above his level.

    His teacher finds him as he's about to give up. She corrects his negative thoughts/feelings and affirms he doesn't have to know what he hasn't learned yet.

    As a mother to a four year old it's easy to see my son getting frustrated, wanting to give up. However, channeling the emotions, correction/ affirming is part of helping him realize, he can do hard things.

    At the end of the story the entire class looks back fondly on the message of positive self talk and realizing they were able to accomplish what they put their mind to, once they learned it.

    Maybe a little deep of a review for a children's book. However, I felt the need to steer the message of what I think the book was trying to convey. Humans get frustrated, turned around, lost. It opened up conversation of daily frustrations and working through road blocks my kid faces every day. Get the book. It's pout pout fish.

    Reviewed in Germany on April 15, 2021

    I bought this book because my daughter loves the original Pout Pout Fish story as well as the sweet dreams version. This book, however, I don’t particularly like because the entire story is about how hard school is and how the fish doesn’t fit in. It was filled with negative messages and only gets positive at the very end. In other words, the negativity of the book outweighs the positivity.

    The condition of the book is fine and the delivery too. I just don’t like the content.
