Rainbow Fish is about a fish who is not friendly to other fish and ends up lonely. He receives great advice from the Octopus to share his scales. Once he gives away his prized possessions he has lots of fish friends and is happy.

I would use this in the classroom to make a Rainbow Fish paper plate activity in which they would make their own Rainbow Fish. I would also use a printable to lable the parts of the rainbow fish (tail, fins, scales, etc.)
