Marcus Pfister (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up

Rainbow Fish returns in a new adventure -- this time involving a misunderstanding with a big blue whale. Erroneously assuming the worst, based only on the whales size, Rainbow Fish and his friends' dire suspicions escalate, antagonizing the gentle whale and leading to disaster. It's up to Rainbow Fish to come to the rescue once more -- helping them all to live together peacefully. Sure to be a hit with Rainbow Fish's many Spanish-speaking fans.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2-Rainbow Fish and his friends are inexplicably confronted by an enormous blue whale. Will the giant mammal gobble up the surrounding weeds and finish them off? Anxieties abound in the ocean deep, leading to some misassumptions about the whale's intent. As it happens, the giant of all sea life is simply enchanted by the brilliant scales reflecting off these tiny creatures as they frolic through the waters. Through patience and open communication, Rainbow Fish learns the truth and saves the day. An entertaining read-aloud illustrated in Pfister's familiar watercolor and silver leafing style.
