Read 6/2/21Genre: FictionGrade Level: 3rdI like this book a lot because I think you can use it to guide discussion on how being a friend to everyone in the class is so important。 Connecting your students to the book to have them think about why they think they need to be a good friend would create great discussion。

I think the dark colors didn't work very well for our kid。 Maybe in a year or so when she can concentrate more on the story。。。 I think the dark colors didn't work very well for our kid。 Maybe in a year or so when she can concentrate more on the story。。。 。。。more

The Pout-Pout Fish in the Big-Big Dark is a story of kindness， friendship， and facing your fears。 Mr。 Fish kindly tells Mrs。 Clam that he will retrieve her lost pearl。 However， to do so he must go into the dark。 He is AFRAID of the dark！ A friend supports him and he recovers the pearl。 This is a cute story for kiddos who may be afraid or the dark or may have a friend who is。

Cute， but not as cute as the original。 Will keep in my child's library for the time being and will re-evaluate when he is old enough to tell me his opinion。 However， in my opinion， this story is very basic compared to the original; basically， a cash grab。 Cute， but not as cute as the original。 Will keep in my child's library for the time being and will re-evaluate when he is old enough to tell me his opinion。 However， in my opinion， this story is very basic compared to the original; basically， a cash grab。 。。。more

（5☆ Would recommend & would read again）My kids love the first book and this book did not disappoint。 The repetition gives something for the kids to look forward to。 My kids are still learning to talk， but the repetition helps them engage in this book， but they know certain parts from hearing it over and over again。

We love the Pout-Pout series。 Kids love the rhymes and the illustrations。 Has a good message， keeping promises made to friends。 Miss Clam has lost her pearl and is so sad， Pout-Pout heads out to find it even though he is afraid of the dark。

Copyright: 2010Genre: Fiction Themes: Help， FriendshipMy favorite part of this book is when Mr。 Fish would say all these positive things things about himself but would admitted that he was afraid of the dark。 I would use this book as a read-aloud book， teach about helping others and recognizing your strengths and weakness。

Don't really want to introduce my child to a fear of the dark， but we glossed over that part and highlighted the brave and wise part。 Don't really want to introduce my child to a fear of the dark， but we glossed over that part and highlighted the brave and wise part。 。。。more
