One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish - wikipedia One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish Author Dr. Seuss Country United States Language English Genre Children 's literature Publisher Random House Publication date 1960 OCLC 184473 Preceded by Happy Birthday to You ! Followed by Green Eggs and Ham One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish is a 1960 children 's book by Dr. Seuss. It is a simple rhyming book for beginning readers, with a freewheeling plot about a boy and a girl named Jay and Kay and the many amazing creatures they have for friends and pets. Interspersed are some rather surreal and unrelated skits, such as a man named Ned whose feet stick out from his bed, and a creature who has a bird in his ear. As of 2001, over 6 million copies of the book had been sold, placing it 13th on a list of `` All - Time Bestselling Children 's Books '' from Publishers Weekly. Based on a 2007 online poll, the United States ' National Education Association labor union named the book one of its `` Teachers ' Top 100 Books for Children.

In popular culture A book titled One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dads was published in 1994, a parody of the title. In the Supreme Court case, Yates v. United States ( 2015 ), Justice Elena Kagan cited the book in her dissent to support the argument that fish are tangible objects as defined in the Sarbanes - Oxley Act. The title of the 1991 episode of The Simpsons `` One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish '' is a clear parody of the title. The song `` One Thot, Two Thot, Red Thot, Blue Thot '' by rap artist Yung Gravy references the story in its title, swapping the word fish for thot.
