The first book in the New York Times bestselling Rainbow Fish series. The rainbow fish with its iridescent scales is the most beautiful fish in the whole ocean. But since he is also vain and proud, he becomes more and more lonely over time. Then he realizes that you can’t win friends through beauty. He overcomes his pride and begins to distribute his glitter scales to the other fish. 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 gives the book its lasting value.

"Stupidity at its best. The ocean is jealous over Rainbow Fish’s beauty. A wanna-be, ugly fish gives Rainbow an ultimatum: share your beauty or we won’t play/like you. RB caves and makes herself , hideous like them. She should’ve told them all to get bent & got their guys too. "
