The Pout-Pout Fish Goes to School

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, starts his first day of school!

On the first day of school,
Mr. Fish feels out of place.
The troubles he imagines
put a pout-pout on his face.

"Trouble One: I'm not smart!
Trouble Two: I'll never get it!
Trouble Three: I don't belong!
So Four: I should forget it!"

Join Mr. Fish on his first day of school, where his concerns float away, and he learns that school is the perfect place to learn how to master all of the new skills he's been worried about.
