Ignore the reviews about the fish 'buying his friends' and just enjoy a beautifully illustrated book. The pictures are simply delightful and the sparkly scales bring the story to life in a way that captures little one's interest perfectly.

`The Rainbow Fish is an international bestseller 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 give this book its lasting value.'
A story predominantly aimed at pre-schoolers, with mixed views on its message, but still a favourite in the reading corner for its `glittering' format.
I have seen it as the `source book' for many a book corner project with the children's own ideas of what the book means to them......usually some glitter and a bit of sparkly foil!
This 2007/NorthSouth Books paperback version is no exception, retaining that original unique format with 48 high quality pages, in the popular `two-page spread' format, with sparkly scales a-glowing, even in the dark cave of the octopus:-
"I have been waiting for you," said the octopus with a deep voice.
"The waves have told me your story.
This is my advice. Give a glittering scale to each of the other fish.
You will no longer be the most beautiful fish in the sea, but you will discover how to be happy."
"I can't...." the Rainbow Fish started to say, but the octopus had already disappeared into a large cloud of ink.....'

Very lovely book with a really beautiful illustrations. Despite many talks between adults about the possible influence of the book on children I would not apply such a sophisticated approach... it is a simple story, which teaches children about sharing in a nice and easy way, which they can understand. Then it is up to the adult to say, how far we should go in sharing. My 4 years old really likes this book, especially because of a little blue fish.

I was actually dissapointed by this book. The illustrations are beautiful and small children will love the sparkly fish scales but the story itself is actually a bit lame. Read more
