About this ebook

The funny follow up to the New York Times bestselling The Pout-Pout Fish from Deborah Diesen and Dan Hanna

Mr. Fish wants to help his friend Ms. Clam when she loses her pearl, but though he's fast as a sailfish, as smart as dolphin, and as strong as a shark, Mr. Fish has a secret: he's scared of the dark!

Very young children will swim along with Mr. Fish as he journeys deep into the ocean to new and mysterious places. They will discover, as Mr. Fish does, the power of friendship to light the way through the big-big dark.

Ratings and reviews

Great story my son loves it but it's extremely hard to read the black words on the black pages 20, 21 and 23. Would love if that could be fixed somehow.

Great story and illustrations, but not quite as good as the original. For the eBook version, there are quite a few pages that are nearly impossible to read, the contrast is so low. I have great vision and still had to turn settings up to maximum brightness and hold it close to read it. I normally purchase board books for my son, but got the ebook for traveling.

We like the jellyfish hat!
