Reviews

"An award winning series, "The Adventures of Rainbow Fish" teaches children not only about fish and marine dwellers, but also such values as working together to solve problems, valuing each others unique differences, and using creativity to make up with friends who are different instead of fighting with them."- Midwest Book Review
