Dont you remember running your fingers over the pretty shiny scales of The Rainbow Fish? Since 1992, Marcus Pfisters instant classic, which recounts the tale of the Rainbow Fish, who loses nearly all his friends due to pride and vanity before gaining them back through kindness and generosity, has been teaching children the importance of individuality, but also of sharing and being a friend. Who could deny the warmth of the joy of the book's final pages, where the Rainbow Fish and his friends swim happily, all bearing a beautiful shining scale?
