Ok, it's kind of fun to read and it has some creative wordplay but, really, the MESSAGE. Ugh. That fish just has a resting bitch face, it's fine, just leave him alone. ( )

First, we have animals telling the pout-pout fish he should smile, because they don't wat to see his frown. NOPE. Don't go around telling other people to smile. It's none of your business and it's rude.

Then, we have the kiss-kiss fish and the pout-pout fish randomly kissing other dish, unprovoked and uninvited. NOPE. Guess what? That's called sexual assault.

This book is full of messages I don't want to pass on to any kids ( )

A cute story to read to the little ones in the classroom during circle time. ( )
