The Pout Pout Fish by Deborah Diesen and illustrated by Dan Hanna

For all the mommies in my life and because my kids are such an important part of my life, why not review a few children's books that Ava and Emma just love. This particular book I have to thank Kelly Oliva for showing me while watching her amazing little kindergarteners in the library. Not only did they love the book with its beautiful illustrations, but the storyline is to die for. A little fish with a pout-pout face that spreads the weary drearies all over the place. Everyone tries to cheer him up and it isn't until he is kissed that he realizes what his little pout-pout face is for.

Ava loves singing the phrase, "I'm pout-pout fish with a pout-pout face..." every time we read this. The sequel Pout-Pout Fish in the Big-Big Dark is equally adorable and really fun to act out. A favorite every night at our house and Ava has too many books to count!
