From School Library Journal
Grade 1–While collecting blue pebbles from the ocean floor, Rainbow Fish disregards his friends warnings and gets swept away in a storm. Far from his normal habitat, he finds himself lost. A puffer fish, scallop, and others attempt to guide him home, to no avail. Eventually, however, he is escorted back. Blues and greens fill the pages, which teem with fish and plant life, and Rainbow Fish wears his trademark scales and expressive face. If you have a large collection of Pfisters work, add this to it; otherwise, dont let it hook you as the story–with its moral of asking for help and helping others–doesnt make enough of a splash on its own.
