Loved this book as a child. My baby is still at the "I want to eat everything" stage so I was super excited to find the bath book version! Great for teething baby and so easy to clean. We take this book with us every where we go. Only four pages including the cover and they are soft and padded. Well made. Baby scrunches it in his fist, chews on it and tries to pull it apart but it still looks new!
Forget all the negatives you've read about this book -- it is priceless. This is a wonderful book about sharing. Rainbow fish has lots of pretty scales, but when a little blue fish asks for one, he says, "never!" As a result, all the other fish start not liking him. It's not a matter of being "socialist" or any other garbage. If a kid has a whole box of crayons and won't share any, then he won't be liked much! If you have a whole box of cookies and won't share any, then you won't be liked much, either. Period.Once rainbow fish visits the wise octopus, who advises him to share his scales, the rainbow fish "ligthens up". He shares his scales, one by one, and the other fish realize he isn't greedy afterall.Before you run to rip this book from your infant/toddler's hands, just take a minute to talk about sharing, what it is and isn't. This is a wonderful book and well worth "sharing" with your children.
like it, I bought it as a replacement for another one, however, the scales are not as shiny (used to be like the hologram type material) as the other one that I had, which was a gift. Nevertheless, it was very well priced and works in the bath.
Loved the old version, but the newer version isn't foil stamped and really cheaply made. Wish they would not advertise as foil stamped because it is no longer! I tried contacting the publisher directly but never received an answer. Really bummed!
Although this is condensed from the full-length book, my husband and I think it is a sweet story. We are Christians, and we believe that true friendship requires giving something of ourselves, from the heart. Perhaps those who bash this book aren't comfortable with fable or metaphor. The book is definitely a more sophisticated message than Elmo or Baby Einstein. The idea that the author is encouraging children to give their body parts to other children to make friends is absurd, and it's up to parents to teach their children that it's wrong for a person to give away "body parts" (and by that, maybe previous reviewers meant "sex" -- I don't know). I gave it four stars instead of five because the illustrations, while beautiful, don't have enough contrast to capture a very young baby's attention. For now, our seven-month old loves mouthing this book, and we plan to check out the hardback edition when she's old enough to understand the words. I just love that no one can stop us from reading it to her! Yee haw and hooray for our constitutional freedoms!
Sure the book is colorful, has wonderful illustrations, and your child will probably enjoy it, but it sends the wrong message about sharing. Some have said that it is because they had to condense the book to just a few pages, but even if you read the full version, it's basically the same: give away a part of yourself to get some friends.
I just thought this was a lovely little book on the value of sharing and the danger of being too conceited, rather than an attempt to undermine our capitalist system, one toddler at a time.
We got this book when our daughter was about a year old. She loved it and looked forward to bathtime because of it. Now that she's almost 5, she's grown out of it, but we can't wait for our 2-month-old son to enjoy it when he gets old enough...I'm sure his sister will love reading it to him!
