The Pout-Pout Fish Cleans Up the Ocean

Deborah Diesen

A major motion picture based on the books coming soon!

Turn little pouts into big smiles in this splashy adventure where Mr. Fish, the star of the New York Times bestselling The Pout-Pout Fish series, discovers how to take care of the ocean.

"The ocean is amazing!"
Mr. Fish's grin was wide.
The beautiful surroundings
left him wonderstruck inside.

His head was full of happy
and his heart was full of awe,
But his smile sank away
when he turned around and saw...

A big...
BIG...
MESS!

What can Mr. Fish and his friends do about this mess? The closer they look, the more they see where the mess came from . . . and they'll have to work together to get rid of it.
