I have been expecting you,\" said the octopus in a deep voice. “ Listen to my advice: give every fish one of your glittering scales. Then you may not be the most beautiful fish in the ocean, but you will be happy again.\"Far out in the sea lived a fish. No ordinary fish, however. He was the most beautiful fish in the entire ocean.

First off, I was SO excited to get an advanced copy of this book. Thank you NetGalley! As an educator. Are you kidding me? This is basically telling kids that if they have something special, they should share it so that everyone is equal. But then, no one is special. It's very much like the socialist belief that if you have a skill or make more money, that money should not belong to you, the one who has it or has earned it; you should not be able to do with this as you please--which very well may be to help others. No. You are to give this away for the betterment of the group because they demand that you do so. Nobody should have any kind of special thing or advantage. Nobody should make more money than someone else or have nicer things, because it upsets people and they won't like you then. Well, too bad! Uniqueness, individuality, and independence or the very qualities that spur new ideas and new inventions which affect the greater whole for the better without the weight of dictatorship and being told to do something. Thank you, thank you very much!\" burbled the little blue fish excitedly. \"You are kind, Rainbow Fish.\" Rainbow Fish felt quite strange. Make your own ‘rainbow’ animal. Could you create a Rainbow Bird, a Rainbow Butterfly or a Rainbow Chameleon?
