The Rainbow Fish

I have taught pre-school and I absolutely love this book. The poetic stanzas are perfect for little children, helping them with language development. The illustrations are bright and beautiful. Most importantly, the story theme is positive and important. YES, it is a book about sharing. I too, think this book has been over analyzed and accused of the messages that I do not see being told. The fish was arrogant and had an attitude, but he learns two lessons in the end. He learns to share, and he learns that friends are more valuable than how he looks or what he owns! The message was clear, anything else is contrived and just plain not the intensions of this delightful tale (or is it tail?).

My Granddaughter loved this book

Beautiful book and story. It’s a. Classic story about sharing and the happiness it brings.

It kept the children's attention.

Great story.

This is s special book to em and my daughter. It's been one of our favorite since she was a baby. I had a doll made for her with this theme because it's so sentimental to us. I love the message this book has and I'm now teaching it to my 5 year old as well. This will always be our favorite book, just as it was when I was young. 🌈🐠

My daughter (4) loves this book, just as much as I did when I was little! It shares a great message about individuality and creates an opportunity for talking more about that with your little one. It also has beautiful illustration!

She was very pleased with the rainbow fish
