The rainbow fish with its bright shiny scales learned how to give up its most prized possession, its scales. The fish not only gives up its scales, it gives up its pride to gain friends.

ReplyDeleteI love this book. I had chance to read it to our two's, preschoolers and pre-kinder-gardeners. The story help children understand that one way to make friends by sharing the things we loved the most.
ReplyDeleteI also love this book. It teaches children that sharing a part of yourself helps to make everyone beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is a book I have not read to a class in years. There are so many wonderful children's books that I sometimes forget about the one that get shuffled to the back of the supply room. I think I may do some winter deep cleaning and move some of the forgotten books and materials to the forefront. This book could be used in conjunction with the class making their own book or puppets to act out the book. My mind is so full of ideas. Now I am excited to find it!
