Pout Pout Fish is frustrated, angry, and mad about all the things that are not working out for him. It starts with Pout-Pout Fish breaking his favorite souvenir and his inability to find the glue to repair it. His anger builds on and on. 

Slowly, Pout-Pout Fish uses various anger management strategies one by one and gains back his calm! 

This would be a perfect fun read-aloud for toddlers and little kids since this story is about how to use your words when you get frustrated. This book would be a light and funny way to teach kids how to handle their emotions correctly. They would love the illustrations in this book which are very expressive and humorous. This would also be a good read for lower-level elementary kids as well.
