If your children have not read any of the Pout-Pout Fish books, they are missing out! These books are adorable and perfect for ages 2-6 (Grades Pre-K – 1). My 4 year old son absolutely loves these books, as well as my 7 year old daughter. I was asked to write a review on the newest book “The Not Very Merry Pout-Pout Fish.”
This is the latest hard cover picture book in this series, which came out on September 8, 2015. Mr. Fish is trying to find the perfect presents for his friends, but he just isn’t having any luck. He’s so busy shopping for everyone that he almost forgets the true meaning of the holidays-surrounding yourself with those you love.
My children (and I) loved this book. The Illustrations are very colorful and they loved the rhyming words in it. We love the message that is sent in this book, that the holidays are to be with the people you love, not about giving the perfect gift.
