About this deal

After the Silver fish kisses the Pout-Pout fish, his life seems much better. Do you think it is because he’s feeling happy or because he has a new purpose in making others feel better by kissing them?

Playful rhymes. Repetitive text. A comically drawn main character. And a book that talks about turning that frown upside down. Really what more could you want in a read aloud? I can’t even look at the cover without smiling.Deborah Diesen is an American children's book author. Her book The Pout-Pout Fish was chosen by Time magazine as a Top 10 Children's Book of 2008. [1] It was also selected for the Michigan Reads! literacy program. [2] I really thought this book was super cute and taught a very important lesson for young children that they should never give up when things get hard. The part of the story that made me feel this way was when Mr. Fish runs into Miss Hewitt and she encourages Mr.Fish that he is smart. I would highly recommend this story to any younger elementary class, especially on the first day of school or the first week or two. As the Pout Pout Fish swims through the ocean with his big pout in our featured story today all of the other animals offer advice on how to cheer up. This is a wonderful example of friendship and empathy for preschoolers who often have ideas about what might cheer up their friends. Preschoolers and Kindergartners who are eager to be friendly often have creative ideas for what might cheer up their friends. This early writing activity is meant to extend the conversations you had during story time while working on communicating ideas through pictures and writing.

In the second half of the book, Mr. Fish is kissed by the Silver Fish and transforms into a happy, kissing fish with the purpose of making everyone else feel better with one of his joyous kisses. This transformation, as a result of the kiss, seems to make his life much better. One of the thoughts that come to mind when reflecting on this transformation is whether Mr. Fish’s life is better because he is happy or because he now has a purpose in life. This book allows for a facilitated discussion and debate about happiness versus purpose. Is it important for the Pout-Pout fish to be happy, or is it more important that he now has a purpose? And what is the connection between the two? Can someone be happy without a purpose? Or have a purpose, but not be happy? It is a wonderful story about a beautiful, shiny fish who doesn’t like to share. He does however want friends. One day he shares just a single rainbow fin and with another fish and discovers the wonderful joy that comes from giving to others. Flowing, watery illustrations and developmentally appropriate concepts, it isn’t hard to see why this book has become a classic. Questions for Philosophical Discussion » Summary The Pout-Pout Fish is a story about happinness and the role of purpose in making a life meaningful. The Pout-Pout Fish by Deborah Deisen is a wonderful book that helps to begin age appropriate conversations with children about emotions and feelings. The Pout-Pout Fish is a story about Mr. Fish who has a perpetual frown on his face. He always feels sad much to the concern of his friends in the ocean.

That is until one little fish gives him a kiss and changes his whole outlook on things. The Pout-Pout Fish becomes the Kiss-Kiss Fish and sets about making his friends as happy as he is. The Pout-Pout Fish Goes to School" is one book out of a series about Mr. Fish, the main character who is referred to outside of the book as the "Pout-Pout Fish" in question.

How much does having a meaningful purpose contribute to having a good, happy life? Can someone be happy without a purpose? Or have a purpose, but not be happy? This book encompasses anxiety in children who experience doubt and fear in their abilities and the pessimism that comes with it. This is amplified in the school environment where there is usually an emphasis on grades and performance, thus Mr. Fish's troubled mantras of self-deprecation. But through support and positive reinforcement from teachers and/or adult figures, it can drastically change the views of how children, and in this case fish, perceive themselves. What does the Pout-Pout fish do after the Silver fish kisses him? Why might that make him feel better? Do you think the Silver fish should have asked the Pout-Pout fish before they kissed? The activity that I would have 1st graders do would write a piece about their very first day of school and what they remember. We did an activity with this on the first day of school and how it is different or similiar than their first day of Kindergarten. After being kissed by the Silver fish, the Pout-Pout fish’s purpose seems to be making other fish feel better. Is this purpose meaningful, or is it pointless?
