By Marcus Pfister
Illustrated by Marcus Pfister
Harry Hartog's review
A beautifully illustrated picture book for someone who loves stories but isn't ready for lengthier novels yet. Something wonderful to read with Mum and Dad for someone younger, or a challenging read for someone a little older, this one is sure to regularly make the trip off the bookshelf and into little hands. - Seb, Harry Hartog Burnside
Description
The Rainbow Fish, originally published in 1992, is an international bestseller and a modern classic.
The rainbow fish with its iridescent scales is the most beautiful fish in the whole ocean. But since he is also vain and proud, he becomes more and more lonely over time. Then he realizes that you can't win friends through beauty. He overcomes his pride and begins to distribute his glitter scales to the other fish.
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 gives the book its lasting value.
