The Rainbow Fish and His Friends

Thank you, NetGalley for allowing me to review this book.

I remember reading the book The Rainbow Fish a long time ago and I enjoyed it. This book however has several other Rainbow Fish stories within this one book. This is a beautiful book with illustrations that provides good life lessons for young children.


Stories within:
The Rainbow fish
Rainbow Fish and The Big Blue Whale
Rainbow Fish Discovers The Deep Sea
You Can't Win Them All, Rainbow Fish
Good Night, Little Rainbow Fish

There is a section called Fun And Games for children and adults to do together. This also provides a references list.

Since the majority of the population knows the story of The rainbow fish I will not touch on that story.

Rainbow Fish and the Big Blue Whale:

Rainbow Fish and his friends encounter a whale while they were eating krill. The fish hurt the whale's feelings so the whale becomes angry. The Rainbow fish eventually finds the courage to speak to the whale to resolve the conflict.

Rainbow Fish Discovers the Deep sea:

Rainbow Fish had one of its shiny scales fall off and it fell into the deep sea. A place where no fish go. Due to determination Rainbow fish went after it until he lost sight of scale. He meets and works with other animals that reside within the sea for him to find the missing scale.

You Can't Win Them All, Rainbow fish:
This story has Rainbow Fish playing a child's game with his friends. He got mad during the game and thought it was unfair. One of his friends explains that he is being a poor sport and should change.

Good night, little Rainbow Fish:

This story talks about being afraid to sleep so he seeks comfort from his parent until he falls asleep.

Did anyone else read Rainbow Fish to their kids growing up? I have such fond memories of that book so when I saw this one, it was a given that I needed it.

This brings back all the love and memories of my time spent sharing the earlier book with my kiddos and I can't wait to share this one with my grandbabies. Such breaktaking and beautiful illustrations! I also love that this isn't just one story but many, and that they teach great lessons about sharing and conflict resolution.

I need a hard copy of this for each of my grandbabies now LOL. I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
