TIME's Top 10 Children's Books...
If you don't want to waste a bunch of time looking at stuff online (because maybe you have more important things to do like, say, baking cookies or revising something), then DO NOT visit TIME's Top 10 Everything of 2008. It will suck you in. (How can one not check out the Top 10 Fashion Faux Pas or the Top Ten Campaign Video Moments?)
TIME also offers a list of Top 10 Children's Books. I was excited to see that The Pout-Pout Fish is number 7! The creators of The Pout-Pout Fish, author Deborah Diesen and illustrator by Dan Hanna, were both featured in "First Books" in the 2009 CWIM. (It was an all-picture books First Books.)
Big ol' Hurrah for Debbie and Dan!

2008 sure was good to The Pout-Pout Fish! It's been a great joy to have the book "swimming around" in the world. Dan's delightful art brought Mr. Fish and his friends to life so wonderfully, and I am beyond grateful for the whole experience.
And what an honor and opportunity to have been included in CWIM. Thank you, Alice -- for the CWIM profile, for this nice blog post, and for everything else you do!!
I will check it out! Thanks, alice. Someday I hope MY book is on that list. After it stops getting rejected, of course..
Thanks for the link! There are a few books on there that I was not aware about. Must check out Mr. Mutt!
Thanks for the link to this wonderful list, Alice! As a mom and a teacher of young children, it's always fun to hear about more great books to share with them!
Thanks for posting this! I do storytime at our local library so I forwarded this list to all of the other storytellers as well. I've read probably 1/2 of those books. I love "Too Many Toys" by David Shannon. (I love all of his books!) Being a mom of 2 and 4 year old, I can relate to that story on so many levels! haha :)
