Book of the Week: The Rainbow Fish

What good is it to be beautiful if there is nobody around to see?

In this week's Book of the Week, The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister, a colourful—yet selfish—fish discovers that looks alone won't make him happy. After a small blue fish asks to have one of his shimmery scales, the Rainbow Fish refuses, alienating himself from the other fish. When he learns to share, he is rewarded with friendship and the joy of giving.

Watch an animated video of the book, as read by Ernest Borgnine.
