Product Review:
“Younger kids will love the repetition of the verses in this tale of a pout-pout fish.”
—TIME magazine, from its Top 10 Childrens’ Books of 2008 List
"Winning artwork...Hanna’s cartoonish undersea world swims with hilarious bug-eyed creatures that ooze personality"
—Kirkus Reviews
"Appealing...the cartoon illustrations of undersea life are bright and clean and the protagonist's exaggerated expressions are entertaining."
—School Library Journal
"Diesen's clever rhymes are playful and fun and are sure to keep children's imaginations swimming from page to page." —Times Record News
"As a positive psychologist I am very impressed with this book's important message. Often times people spend a life time grumpy or down in the dumps, unaware of who they really are or what their potential is. So imagine a world, where kids learn at two and three that they are in control of their nature and do have a choice as to how to respond! Our world would be so much better off. And that is the way I see this book. The fish has this great realization that the very parts of him that he felt made him dreay and weary, were really the parts that turn him into a kissing fish who could spread cheer everywhere! I hope moms and dads use the insight level of this book to encourage discussion and remind their kids that they can turn any of their traits into good and positive uses! This book is a must for young kids and their parents and should leave all kissing! "
