Like its predecessors, The Pout-Pout Fish and the Bully-Bully Shark pairs a rhyming text with colorful artwork. Although not quite the equal of some of the earlier titles - somehow I found the text here a little awkward - I do think this would make a fairly good read-aloud, especially for those looking for stories that address the issue of bullying.
