Pout Fish(대구의 일종)는 입꼬리가 툭 튀어 나오고 밑으로 처져 있어서 항상 불만스럽고 뿌루퉁하게 보입니다. 이 물고기의 이름인 Pout라는 단어 자체가 "짜증이 나서 입술을 뿌루퉁 내밀다"라는 의미입니다.

바닷 속에서 Pout Fish를 만난 조개, 해파리, 오징어, 문어 등 친구들마다 좀 웃고 살면 안되겠냐고 하지만, Pout Fish는 원래 생긴 것이 그런데 어쩌겠냐고 하면서 바닷 속에 우울함과 근심을 퍼트리네요.

그런데 키싱구라미같이 생긴 멋지게 생긴 물고기가 Pout Fish에게 다가와서는 잔소리를 하는 대신에 뽀뽀를 해줍니다. 이 물고기는 만나는 상대방에게 말 대신 뽀뽀를 해주는 습성을 지니고 있나 봅니다. 느닷없이 기습 뽀뽀를 당한 Pout Fish는 너무 놀라서 한동안 멍하니 있다가, 기분이 좋아지면서 처졌던 입꼬리도 올라가고, 그리고는 자기 성격이 원래 우울하거나 뿌루퉁한 것은 아니라는 것을 깨닫게 됩니다.

이제 Pout Fish는 이름을 Kiss-Kiss Fish로 바꾸고는 만나는 친구마다 뽀뽀를 해줍니다. 우울함과 근심걱정을 퍼트리는 대신에 쾌활함과 즐거움을 퍼트리네요...

Book Description

Deep in the water,
Mr. Fish swims about
With his fish face stuck
In a permanent pout.

Can his pals cheer him up?
Will his pout ever end?
Is there something he can learn
From an unexpected friend?

Swim along with the pout-pout fish as he discovers that being glum and spreading “dreary wearies” isn’t really his destiny. Bright ocean colors and playful rhyme come together in this fun fish story that’s sure to turn even the poutiest of frowns upside down.


Kirkus Reviews
The pout-pout fish, painted a suitable blue, is so named for his perpetual gloom: “I’m a pout-pout fish / With a pout-pout face, / So I spread the dreary-wearies / All over the place.” When a jellyfish complains about his “daily scaly scowl,” the glum fish agrees, but says his mood isn’t up to him. A squid, dubbing the fish “a kaleidoscope of mope,” receives the same defeatist answer, as do other sea creatures. Up to this point, the story is refreshing in that readers will no doubt recognize the pout-pout fish in their own lives, and in many cases, there’s just no cheering these people up. But the plot takes a rather unpalatable turn when a shimmery girl fish kisses the gloomster right on his pouty mouth. With that kiss, he transforms into the “kiss-kiss fish” and swims around “spreading cheery-cheeries all over the place,” meaning that he starts to smooch every creature in sight. (Don’t try this at school, kids, you’ll get suspended!) Still, there’s plenty of charm here, both in the playful language (“hulky-bulky sulking!”) and in the winning artwork - Hanna’s cartoonish undersea world swims with hilarious bug-eyed creatures that ooze personality.


TIME magazine
“Younger kids will love the repetition of the verses in this tale of a pout-pout fish.” -


School Library Journal
"Appealing...the cartoon illustrations of undersea life are bright and clean and the protagonist's exaggerated expressions are entertaining."


New York Times
"Diesen's clever rhymes are playful and fun and are sure to keep children's imaginations swimming from page to page."
