About the Book
Rainbow Fish finds friendship and happiness when he learns to share.Book Synopsis
Perfect for story times, the big book version of the New York Times bestselling Rainbow Fish series. The rainbow fish with its iridescent scales is the most beautiful fish in the whole ocean. But since he is also vain and proud, he becomes more and more lonely over time. Then he realizes that you can't win friends through beauty. He overcomes his pride and begins to distribute his glitter scales to the other fish. Eye-catching foil stamping, glittering on every page, offers instant child appeal, but it is the universal message at the heart of this simple story about a beautiful fish who learns to make friends by sharing his most prized possessions that gives the book its lasting value. Rainbow Fish has been a favorite of children all over the world for 30 years. Its indelible message is simple--a pleasure shared is the nicest pleasure. Now children can enjoy this story time favorite in this oversized format--similar to the one used by former first lady, Michelle Obama, when she read The Rainbow Fish to children at the White House Easter Egg Roll in 2016.

AMAZING - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
I ordered this books because it was listed as one of the most popular books for children. I was a litle disappointed that the story line implied that you have to give of yourself, when you don't want to, in order for others to like you. This fish is lonely and not liked, until he started to give away pieces of his body.

I bought this book for my grandson (5 yrs.). He loved it and asks his mom to read it over and over again. I also read it and loved the story, it has a very nice lesson for kids.
