The Pout-Pout Fish Goes to School (A Pout-Pout Fish Adventure)

This is an exceptional book. As an educator, I consistently incorporate it into my curriculum within the initial days of the academic year. My kindergarten students find resonance with the pout pout fish’s apprehension and apprehensions regarding school, while simultaneously discovering the enjoyable aspects of learning.

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.

The book is well written and the illustrations give it good character. It has a good message for children as well.

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.

Bought this book for all the elementary teachers in my life and its such a hit! We love the Pout Pout series!

Cute little book for my grandson who started kindergarten this year. He loves books and I’m sure he’ll enjoy this book!

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.

Great pre-school book

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.

Minha sobrinha adorou! Chegou no prazo estabelecido e muito bem embalado!

We love the original pout pout fish book and this just didn’t capture our hearts as much. Still a nice and enjoyable read

My granddaughter loves this book

Livro bom para crianças pequenas que começaram a estudar. Ele conta a história de um peixinho que começou a estudar, mas ficou muito ansioso porque os peixes mais velhos já sabiam muitas coisas que ele não conseguia fazer. Ajudou meu filho a diminuir a ansiedade nos primeiros meses de escola.
