wrong message! - Rated Yes!It's a beautiful illustrated book!But reading the story it gave me a feeling something isn't right.Ok:the beautiful fish is arrogant but is the answer to this to give parts of his body away to make friends?To me the story is about a little jealous fish who wants to be as beautiful as the bigger fish.The little jealous fish also tells all his friend how "bad" the beautiful fish is because he doesn't want to share parts of his body.When he gives away it's beauty,the other fish like him.This is certainly not a message I want to give my child!Enjoy your beauty,but it doesn't make you better than anybody else.And for sharing,to give things,to become friends:I think there are better books than this one:The tiger who came to tea-Smile crocodile,smile-The snail and the wail A tale with a difference - Rated `The Rainbow Fish is an international bestseller and a modern classic. 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 give this book its lasting value.' A story predominantly aimed at pre-schoolers, with mixed views on its message, but still a favourite in the reading corner for its `glittering' format. I have seen it as the `source book' for many a book corner project with the children's own ideas of what the book means to them......usually some glitter and a bit of sparkly foil! This 2007/NorthSouth Books paperback version is no exception, retaining that original unique format with 48 high quality pages, in the popular `two-page spread' format, with sparkly scales a-glowing, even in the dark cave of the octopus:- "I have been waiting for you," said the octopus with a deep voice. "The waves have told me your story. This is my advice. Give a glittering scale to each of the other fish. You will no longer be the most beautiful fish in the sea, but you will discover how to be happy." "I can't...." the Rainbow Fish started to say, but the octopus had already disappeared into a large cloud of ink.....'
