For the youngest readers, the bath book edition from the New York Times bestselling Rainbow Fish series.
Sure to be a favorite tub toy, this soft but sturdy little book with its message about sharing is perfect for the very youngest child--at bath time, bed time, beach time, anytime!
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.

"Rainbow Fish’s multicolored scales — which include bits of silver holographic foil, a shiny touch sure to dazzle young readers — are coveted by the rest of the fish in the reef, who shun him when he callously refuses to give just one to a little blue fish. A visit to a wise octopus helps him learn that while being the most beautiful fish in the ocean might be nice, it’s far nicer to share the good things in life with friends."
