As part of the Virtual Book Club for Kids, my co-hosts and I share activity ideas for preschoolers to help extend beloved books. While reading aloud is absolutely enough, kids often enjoy crafts and learning activities based on their favorite books. Below are some ideas if you want to extend some of your favorite ocean read alouds.

This book is about a fish that goes to school for the first time and he ends up in the wrong class and he thinks he is not smart, he will never get it, he doesn’t belong, and he should just forget it. He continues to move on to find the class that he thinks he belongs in and continues to think he doesn’t belong. Mr.Fish begins to leave school and right before he gives up completely a nice teacher named Miss Hewitt tells him,” yes you do belong, you belong in my class for the brand new fish. Mr. Fish realizes that he is smart, he will get it, he does belong, and he won’t forget it. When it comes to writing lesson plans and finding activities for The Pout Pout Fish, we’ve already done all of the heavy lifting for you. I was expecting this to be a glamorization of whining and I was pleasantly surprised by the turn. He tells himself “I can’t do this / learn” a bit too many times but then the nice teacher directs him to the right part of fish school and the frown turns upside down.A long time ago, Pout-Pout Fish went to school for the very first time. He wandered from classroom to classroom, never able to do the work and he believed that he was incapable. As he tried to leave, his teacher found him and brought him into his preschool class and he discovered that he could do it, and so could his classmates.

Mr. Fish has a permanent pout, until with the help of his friends, he learns that the "dreary wearies" aren’t for him. Children will love these books, with their charming rhyming verse and appealing lessons. Have you read any books about Pout-Pout Fish before? If so, tell me some things you already know about Pout-Pout Fish. If this is your first time reading a Pout-Pout Fish book, we can use his name to learn a little bit about him. Pout means to push your lips out, like Pout-Pout Fish is doing on the cover. Let’s all give it a try! Why might you pout like Pout-Pout Fish? How do you think he feels about going to school? We’re going to read to find out why Pout-Pout Fish is worried about going to school. We’ll also find out what changes his mind and makes him smile. The Pout-Pout Fish Goes to School" is one book out of a series about Mr. Fish, the main character who is referred to outside of the book as the "Pout-Pout Fish" in question. The story tells about Mr. Fish's first time going to school when he was young and his doubts of learning and being able to keep up with the rest of the fish in the school. He gets reassurance, though, that things will be okay and there is time for him to learn. Encourage the kids to share what makes them feel happy or smile when they are sad with drawings or words. I also like to encourage conversation at our table while we write and draw. A simple phrase like “Tell me about your picture” can get a kid talking and often lead to conversation.The Pout-Pout Fish by Deborah Deisen is a wonderful book that helps to begin age appropriate conversations with children about emotions and feelings. The Pout-Pout Fish is a story about Mr. Fish who has a perpetual frown on his face. He always feels sad much to the concern of his friends in the ocean. His friends try to give him advice and want him to smile and be cheerful, but Mr. Fish is convinced that this is just the way he is. That is until one little fish gives him a kiss and changes his whole outlook on things. The Pout-Pout Fish becomes the Kiss-Kiss Fish and sets about making his friends as happy as he is. This book is about Pout-Pout the fish who starts his very first day of school. He is very scared at looking at all of the classrooms. He begins to go into Math, Art, and Writing class, and he does not think he is good at anything. He gets very discouraged and wants to go home. Before he left the school, a new teacher had come across him and asked for him to go with her since he was not in the right classroom. She was his Kindergarten teacher and he was very happy to be in a place where he was smart and he could do well in. The book was written by Deborah Diesen. It was illustrated by Dan Hanna.
