Product Description

Synopsis

Ten years ago the glittering Rainbow Fish swam into the lives and hearts of children around the world, and he has been delighting young readers ever since. Published in 28 countries and 37 languages, the heartwarming story about a beautiful fish who learns to make friends by sharing his most prized possessions remains one of the best-selling children's book ever. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of this modern classic, North-South Books presents a special birthday edition that's even more sparkling than the original. This anniversary edition has the same text and pictures as the original Rainbow Fish; the cover title is printed in eye-catching holographic foil. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunningly simple story of pride and friendship., 20 July 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rainbow Fish (Hardcover)

The Rainbow Fish has been on our bookshelf for at least 2 years and is still a favourite with my children. It's stunning illustrations complement the simple story of a vain fish with no friends who finds that sharing his silver scales leads to happiness. It's moral is easy for small children to understand and discuss. I know it will be a favourite of ours for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but, frankly I am shocked that the reviews on this book are so negative!, 3 Jan 2008

KS1 Annie (Hemel Hempstead, Herts.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Rainbow Fish (Hardcover)

The book is well above one or two star calibre.
It is high in OFSTED's list of acceptable books which is more than you can say for the claptrap that is constantly appearing for young children these days, if you can get them away from playing on the various machines or texting on mobile phones (and I am talking 5 and 6 year olds here!) in the first place!

The story's message is a lot to do with the person you are, or are becoming, or is based on the upbringing one has had, in my opinion.

The story line is nothing new - 'buying friendship' or 'realising that you CAN do without the odd thing or too......especially if it makes another one happy' - it is a personal choice.

Whichever you choose to believe this is aimed at reasonably young children and I have been teaching them for nigh on 40 years!
We get the sharing message across 9 times out of 10!
But, that is the result of good teaching - it is generally eroded when the child returns home!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical, 16 July 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rainbow Fish (Hardcover)

I purchased this book on-line for my grandson and recently found it in a bookshop. I was totally entranced by both the illustration and the book's simple message. This is a beautiful book for a child!
