Additionally, the audiobook includes adorable under the sea themed music and bubble sound effects that transport the listener to the Pout Pout Fish’s world. Not only is the story itself engaging, but the narrator has excellent pacing and entertaining voices. My kids and I listened to the audiobook and I was a bit worried that without adorable pictures they wouldn’t be as engaged in the story, but I was wrong. So simple, so accurate, and so relatable.
He shows us how making a simple plan can give us the tools we need to feel in control of our environment and lessen the worry. Fish reminds his friend the whale (and the reader) that worry tells us stories that are not always true. The Pout Pout Fish and the Worry Worry Whale perfectly balances identifying the emotion (worry) and examples of things to worry about with a very simple and clear plan of action to combat the worries. Additionally, many of these books illustrate the character working through the feeling in destructive ways first, giving my kids lots of new ideas of how NOT to handle things. I find that many of them focus so much on the negative aspects of the feeling, waiting until the last possible second to offer a resolution that the child listener ends up missing the tips on managing the feeling and instead are introduced to new reasons to be angry, sad, jealous, etc. The advice is helpful for all ages and I’m not joking when I say I’ll be repeating Mr.Fish’s advice to myself (and my kids) over and over again!īooks for kids about feelings can be tricky. This was exactly what my kids and I needed to hear! A precious tale of worries with a succinct and clear plan for how to manage them.
