Note: I received a digital review copy of this book through NetGalley. ( )

Rainbow Fish books were always favourites in our school library with our primary students. The beautiful illustrations, child friendly language and simple story hit a chord with the students and this one does the same.

Rainbow Fish, Jagged Fins, Little Blue and a new friend Red Fin play hide and seek. Rainbow fish is it and he can not find any of his friends. He is not sure what happened, he knows all the hiding places. When Little Blue is it, he finds Rainbow Fish right away. Rainbow Fish is upset because Little Blue never finds them. He immediately calls Little Blue a cheater and swims away. Poor Little Blue, who was so proud of himself for finding Rainbow Fish, is now down in the dumps. Can Red Fin calm Rainbow Fish down and get him to realize that he is being a bad sport? Will Rainbow Fish smooth things over with Little Blue? This is a great book to teach about sportsmanship and caring about friends feelings in a cute simple way for our youngest children. A book that needs to be in every public, school and family library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

Everyone loses once in a while. But being a good sport when you lose isn’t always easy—not even for Rainbow Fish. A lighthearted look at accepting loss without losing your sparkle!

This is another great Rainbow Fish book. I read this to my three-year-old daughter and she loved it. It had a great moral that will help me get her to play with her baby brother much better. The moral is one of those, "can't get everything you want, it won't' always go your way, can't win them all" types.

I am personally a fan of the Rainbow Fish books. They are written really good. They are good talking points. I also like the Duck & Goose books too. I think these are two series that I personally am really happy that I own copies of for my kids. ( )
