The Pout Pout Fish - Beyond the Book Resources
The Pout-Pout Fish tells the story of a fish who thinks he has to be grumpy because his mouth turns down in a pout. It has all the stuff kids love including humor, chants and rhyming words. It's one of those books that's just fun to read out loud.
On a more serious side, this book deals with big feelings. If you have a child that leans a little towards the negative side of things at times, this is a great book for teaching and learning. It can serve as a humorous, but resourceful reference for helping toddler and preschool-aged emotional children with big feelings.
There are now multiple books in the "Pout Pout" family.

Extend the Learning with Story-Based Play
Adding an element of play is another way to deepen your child’s understanding of concepts within and beyond a story. According to Hall (1991), young children often develop advanced literacy skills when they engage in play related to a familiar story. Many complex literacy skills develop naturally when the story and play intersect, setting the stage for your child to learn to read and write.
It’s easy. Take a great story, gather toys that align with that story, and get out of the way. Your child will do the rest. The goal is to allow the play to evolve naturally. You’ll be surprised by the amount of learning transferred and reinforced through this type of play.
Here’s Why We Love These Specific Products:
They have direct connections to the book.
They reinforce new vocabulary.
They encourage imaginative play
They make it easy to re-enact parts of the story.
They often take learning beyond the confines of the story.
Few require batteries, screens, or electricity.
