The Rainbow Fish

Bibliography
Pfister, Marcus. 1992. The Rainbow Fish. NorthSouth Books. ISBN: 9781558580091.

Plot Summary
Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in the sea, but nobody wants to play with him because he doesn’t want to share his shiny scales. Will he chose to be alone or share his shiny scales and look less beautiful?

Critical Analysis
A very beautiful story accompanied with even more beautiful illustrations. The eye catching illustrations are bright and colorful. The shiny scales stand out and make the rainbow fish truly look different and prettier than the other fish in the sea. The story is short, yet has a very subtle way of showing children to share with their friends. A very easy reader for young children and a great book for parents to read aloud to their children.
