Book Reviews of The Rainbow Fish
Book Review: Its for babies and toddlers.... duh!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Look people. We as adults would take offense to this book had it been written for US. But this book is for babies and toddlers. The sparkle fish scales are to get a babies attention and the whole moral to the story is for toddlers. See toddlers do not share, it is not that they are destined to be selfish or mean nor does it reflect any parenting skills. They are selfish and that is how they survive! This book it just a little story about sharing. I have a one, two, and three year old and that is one lesson we have to re-teach about every ten minutes. It is a cute book full of beautiful pictures and has a cute "KIDDIE MORAL".
We are a religious household and we are always learning the way of God and always doing our best to stay on the path to righteousness, but when it comes to kids we must remember their complete innocence and simple values. As they get older if the book still holds up with three boys (not likely unless it was made of steal) we will explain that it is is a simple book for babies and that it is not our job as kids, teens, and adults to blend in, or stand out... our job is to follow the path that God has laid for us.
So, please remember...... baby/toddler books are written for baby/toddlers! :)
ps. I think it is so funny that people come out of the woodwork screaming disdain for this book yet I never hear any bible remarks to Harry Potter books which involve witchcraft, not that I have a problem with those books either. They are books that spark imagination and they are not real or true which we will one day explain to our children if they ever read or watch the series.
Summary of The Rainbow Fish
A timeless story about the joys of giving and the pleasures of friendship. Hardcover.If you read this very popular book just before bed, and the light is still on in the hallway, you can make the rainbow scales glitter on the page, and realize why the Rainbow Fish was so proud of his beautiful decoration. Sometimes, though, being too proud of outside beauty can blind a fish, or a child (or even, heaven forbid, a parent) to the beauty people hold inside. That's the lesson of this simple tale, imported from Switzerland. It's a useful one for future sneaker and designer clothing shoppers, for rainbow fish--and for quieter, plainer minnows, too.
