I read this to a friends kid and immediately knew it would be the first book I’d buy when I had a child. The rhymes are fun and the story has a great moral. I don’t mind reading it over and over Sep 23, 2020

This has become one of my daughter’s favorite books, but the message does not include consent so we add that to the story ourselves. I would hope that the author would consider adding this message. May 02, 2020

Cute book. I added a tune to the words so I always sing this to my son in a very dramatic pirate-y way. He loves it! Will want me to read it to him over and over. Apr 30, 2020

I love the pout pout fish books - very catchy. My son has a few and this is one of his favorites. Some of them don’t flow as well and are barely read Apr 28, 2020

Cute story! My daughter loves to 'read' the "blub, bluuub, bluuuuub" parts! Apr 06, 2020

Has a fun repetitive element and cute to read in voices! Mar 10, 2020

My daughter loves saying the words along with this book. It’s written in rhymes so we sometimes even sing it. The fish thinks he’s grouchy, but he’s really not. Feb 12, 2020

Probably our favorite book right now. Nice message and fun doing different voices for all of the fish. Oct 21, 2020

Sweet book. Our little guy loves the “smooches” at the end Sep 10, 2020
- Katilyn B.

So, I love this one -- as did my daughter-- with one caveat. The kiss at the end does totally side-step bodily autonomy and consent, so we talked about that as she got older. Aug 07, 2020

Love this easy to read book! Jul 23, 2020

This is a really fun book to read. Mixed reviews from my kids. My oldest (4) has a hard time with the fish pouting all the time. It is a great book to learn about emotions. Jun 04, 2020
- Sarah I.

Such an adorable book. It teaches your little ones to try and be happy and that there is always a silver lining. My son loves to make the smooching sound at the end of the book! Mar 27, 2020

Got this from our baby shower. Such a cute book and a cuter message. Also the illustrations are wonderful. Feb 19, 2020

Why would anyone regret the Pout Pout Fish! This is an all time favorite book to get and give for showers! There’s a sequel which is just as great! Aug 24, 2019

Really well written/clever book. Super cute and easy to read Also a good lesson. Aug 15, 2019

We really enjoy this book. People complaining about the message being inappropriate need to lighten up. It's a very fun book to read. My husband does the "blub, blub, BLUB" and cracks our baby up May 17, 2019

I want to love this book and while the story and illustrations are very cute, it sends a message that intimate physical touch without approval is ok, and that's not something I want my kids to learn Apr 11, 2019

Smooch! We read this book often. I love that it teaches my kids that we all look different but we can love one another. Oct 03, 2018

Such a cute book. I like the repetition so the kids can "read" it with me. Great pictures. Aug 04, 2018

So this may be one of my favorites, it’s a fun read. It’s a little long and wordy for my 20month old at the moment but she enjoys the noises and the ending. Jul 03, 2018

My kids quite liked this one. We still pick it up (three years later) from time to time. The story is catchy. I will say that the spin offs aren't great. Oct 11, 2017

One of my all-time favorite kids books. Anyone that can incorporate "squelchy" and "kaleidoscope of mope" into a children's book is stellar IMO. May 29, 2017
- Paige B.

This is my sons FAVORITE book! He brings this to me daily, shoving it in my face "Blub blub blub!" It's cute and has a good rhythm to it! May 10, 2017

Not our favorite, its ok. Colors are a bit too muted and the content didn't really seem to keep my children's attention. Feb 28, 2017
