"A long way out in the deep blue sea there lived a fish. Not just an ordinary fish, but the most beautiful fish in the entire ocean. His scales were every shade of blue and green and purple, with sparkling silver scales among them. The other fish were amazed at his beauty. They called him Rainbow Fish. "Come on, Rainbow Fish," they would call. "Come and play with us!" But the Rainbow Fish would just glide past, proud and silent, letting his scales shimmer."About The Rainbow Fish
Rainbow Fish, with his beautiful sparkling silver scales, was the most beautiful fish in the ocean. Despite Rainbow Fish's beauty, he was not happy. Rainbow Fish did not have any friends. When he thoughtlessly hurts the feeling of one of his many admirers, the other fish in the ocean ignore him. Rainbow Fish's beautiful scales are the most important thing in the ocean to him.

From the Reviewer
The Rainbow Fish has always been one of my favorite preschool books. My sons and I have spent many nights snuggling together and learning what being a true friend is about with Rainbow Fish. The bright colors and glittery scales of Rainbow Fish are mesmerizing to preschoolers. Preschoolers will love the textured pages.The story teaches a wonderful lesson about sharing and friendship. For preschoolers, sharing is such a struggle. Rainbow Fish helps them to understand that life is about more than the things that we own. True happiness comes from sharing our lives with our friends and family.
