What's The Rainbow Fish About
The Rainbow Fish is an international best-seller and a modern classic. 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.

What Kind of Book is The Rainbow Fish
Reviews
This is a story I loved as a child. Rereading it today I saw why I enjoyed it. The message of giving is strong and clear and teaches the meaning of happiness. I like seeing the transformation of the rainbow fish from a selfish fish to someone the other fish wanted to be around.
