Pout-Pout Fish (A Pout-Pout Fish Mini Adventure) - Sweet Dreams

It is cute. But after the originality and length of the original, the shortness of the book and extremely short sentences within are a disappointment. If I could have located this in a store prior to ordering, I wouldn't have purchased.

Disappointing. We love the original Pout Pout Fish books, however this one was very underwhelming. I had my questions when it was listed as a Pout Pout Fish Mini adventure, but was surprised that it is a VERY mini adventure. It comes up short at only 12 pages, with one sentence per page. In this case there is such a thing as being too short and sweet. It was not worth the money or the space it would take up on our book shelf, so I sent it back. Try this one from the library before you buy.

It does have the classic illustrations from the original book. The story line is very sweet but I would have liked to have seen more.

We love the original Pout-Pout Fish book, but this one definitely did not live up to those expectations! My 3 yr old and I were both pretty bummed that this book was less than 12 pages long and only had about one sentence on those few pages! I'm not even sure if it was worth the $6 that I pre-ordered it. Guess we'll just stick to the original and I'll definitely preview at a library next time before I buy on the store!

I should have read more information about this. We are HUGE Pout Pout Fish fans and was a little disappointed to receive a SHORT book as opposed to another wonderful Pout Pout adventure. It's my fault for not reading more closely. Still enjoyable and always good to have a few short books for cranky nights when I still want to read something to my daughter but she's not interested in sitting for a long time.

Like several other reviews, the toddler and I purchased this book on the strength of the original without doing due diligence and reading the reviews first.... I had worked out a sweet deal with the toddler this particular night, in exchange for a pleasant, calm evening and bedtime she would be rewarded with a new book on the iPad.. We recently became acquainted with the pout pout fish and I knew she was going to pick one of the sequels, so I felt fairly comfortable with that... The toddler picks books like I pick bottles of wine, by the label... So one look at the sleeping fish and she got sucked right in. I knew I was in for it when I finished this story in ohhhhh 30 seconds and she looked up at me with those 'that's it' eyes. So to make up for how bad this one was, I had to read two more stories.... Listen up, if you have a small child you probably have a stack of these sleepy time books( brush teeth, put on pjs blah blah blah)sitting around the house, this one isn't anything special...in fact, there's much better if that's what you're looking for ... I recommend save your change and buying you and the youngin a taco with what you save...... A word to the publishers, a loyal fan base does not like to feel cheated...as others have said, it appears the success of the first one was used to sell a poor book, NOT COOL... The toddler forgives and forgets... I don't and I'm the one with the credit card.

I understand the need for some very short bedtime books in a child's collection, but I was quite disappointed that this one would be one of them. My son loves the original Pout Pout Fish and the Hide and Seek Pout Pout Fish, so we were looking forward to a bedtime version. But I feel compelled to read another book when we read this for bed. Just not long enough.
