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.
