The Rainbow Fish, written and illustrated by Marcus Pfister

The Rainbow Fish was one of my daughters favorites, and one I didn't mind reading over and over. With it colorful and soothing illustrations taking place under the sea and it's valuable lesson, this is a great children's picture book.

It's the story of the rainbow fish, a unique and beautiful fish with shining and sparkling scales. Everyone thinks of rainbow fish as the most beautiful fish in the sea. 

One day a little fish asks to have one of his shiny scales. Rainbow fish angrily turns him down. What would he be like if he lost his beautiful scales?

Suddenly the other fish didn't want to be around rainbow fish. They ignored him, and worse, they didn't seem to stop and admire him as he swam by anymore!

A wise octopus tells rainbow fish to share his scales and he would be made happy. But how could he!? Then he'd be just like everyone else!

Would sharing his scales actually make him happy? Giving away his most prized possessions? Really?
