Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Fans of Marcus Pfister's Rainbow Fish will welcome Rainbow Fish A,B,C, in which the fellow invites youngsters to his underwater school: "Come for a swim in the deep blue sea,/ and learn the alphabet with me!" Throughout, large alphabet letters float across otherwise wordless spreads, in order, until youngsters reach Z: "Now you've learned your ABCs./ You're as clever as can be." Rainbow Fish 1,2,3 encourages more interaction, as the hero asks children to count his different colored scales ("How many yellow scales does Rainbow Fish have?") and various sea creatures on each page. Ages 1-4.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice counting book, July 11, 2008

This review is from: Rainbow Fish 1,2,3 (Hardcover)

This is a fun little counting book to learn numbers. The previous reviewer indicated it was for the alphabet, but it is for numbers. You learn colors and numbers by counting different colored fish scales or other objects in the sea that rainbow fish sees. The glittery scales add interest to the pages. Nice book, but nothing terribly outstanding, but then of course, how could a number counting book be that original? That is only why I gave it 3 stars, but I would still recommend purchasing it. Nicely done. YOur child will like it. Very colorful and some glittery illustrations that will keep your child interested.

This review is from: Rainbow Fish A,B,C (Hardcover)

Very, Very, Very disappointed in this book. I thought it would be more like the regular Rainbow Fish book that is excellent, but it was just A,B,C, etc. across all the pages. No story at all.
