4.0 out of 5 stars Story about sharing illustrated with beauitful holograms, July 23, 2010

This review is from: El Pez Arco Iris (Rbf) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

This story is about the most beautiful fish in the ocean, with sparkling scales, who in the process of refusing to share its scales with others, finds itself friendless. A wise octopus advises it to give away its scales, telling it that even though it will no longer be the most beautiful fish, it will be happy. The fish gives the first one away reluctantly, then gives out one per fish until it only has one left itself. As the octopus predicted, it is a much happier fish when it is surrounded by friends. The lesson that generosity is more important than beauty comes through clearly.

The drawings are large and the shiny scales are fun to look at thoughout the book. A good book for preschool age and up.

My 3 year old granddaughter never tires of hearing the story over and over of a selfish fish who learns how to give. The holograms thruout the book fascinate her.
