Beautiful colors with good story
The colors of the pictures in this story are so vibrant and beautiful. Rainbow Fish is also a good story with a lesson for young children. In this instance, Humbert is a fish that tells the other fish fantastic stories. When they realize his stories are to scare them and aren't true, no one wants to play with Humbert. But, then Humbert is all alone. So, Rainbow Fish asks Humbert to use his storytelling for good. Sometimes Humbert exaggerates, but the fish bring him back to reality. All the fish enjoy Humbert's wonderful stories. A good lesson not to lie and to tell stories that are lies, but instead weave stories that are interesting and true.

cute, colorful, with great messages
This was such a cute book! It had a great message about making friends and not telling lies to get their attention. The illustrations were beautiful and I absolutely loved all the bright colors. It was a really fun read and I think it would be great to have in a classroom library. Kiddo (8) read it with me and enjoyed it a lot. He thought the illustrations were beautiful. He read the text out loud to me and had no problems with understanding it. He also found the idea of a plug at the bottom of the sea very funny. I especially liked how Rainbow Fish realized Humbert was lonely and worked with him to find a way for him to use his storytelling abilities for good to make friends rather than pushing them away with lies. I received a review copy of this book.
