nice book, nice price
nice price for a hardcover kids book. they love books and it's hard to say no to books. I'm just happy it's a hardcover so my kids won't destroy it before they can learn to read it.

The Christmas Star 5 reviews
Marcus Pfister
North-South Books, 1993
Simply Told
(original review: Sept. 4, 2004) I looked high and low to find a Christmas book for my nephew's first Christmas. Several of them had fine points. Whether it was the lush illustrations, funny stories about Santa or that they told truly heart warming stories. The problem was that I wanted a children's book that focused on why we celebrate Christmas, without adding "characters" or being told from ...

The Rainbow Fish Bath Book 19 reviews
Marcus Pfister
North-South Books, 2000
Great book about SHARING for bath time, teething
Seriously, some reviewers need to take a breather. The book is about sharing -- about seeing past what is "mine" and finding the joy that comes in sharing what you have with others. It's about a vain fish who finds friendship when he gets over himself. In any case, it's a favorite book in our household. My daughter, now 6 months, reaches for it and, when not chewing on its soft pages (bonus!), is ...

Penguin Pete is great!
The books in the Penguin Pete series are great! My son (who will be 3) has enjoyed these book for over a year. However, they are meant for children older than this. My son is fascinated with animal books and stories and we read bigger kid books to him. He still enjoys them.

Rainbow Fish Hide and Seek Cloth Book & Finger Puppet1 review
North-South Books, 2006
ADORABLE!
Made of a silky, shiny fabric, with soft stuffing, this book is full of fun. Perfect for babies - it helps teach fine motor skills as they lift the fabric flaps looking for Rainbow Fish. A bonus is the finger puppet, complete with sparkling scales. There is even one page with a cave entrance that the finger puppet can "swim" right through. The finger puppet sold in stores for $9.95 by itself so ...

The Rainbow Fish 198 reviews

North-South Books, 1992
We love it
This is the original Rainbow Fish story which is a simple moral tale designed for very young children. The Rainbow Fish is beautiful, but arrogant and selfish. He has to learn that superficial qualities such as beauty and wealth cannot be valued over friendship and happiness.
It is at best an oversimplification to say this is a book about sharing, and I cannot agree at all with the reviewers ...

Rainbow Fish and the Sea Monsters' Cave 1 review
Marcus Pfister
North-South Books, 2001
Afraid Of Noting
Bumby-backed fish was sick, and need red algae to get better. So Rainbow fish, and Blue fish decided that hey would venture into the monsters cave where the red algae was. They had to do it unless bumpy-back fish would die. As they traveled through, they say many scary things, but were too afraid to actually look at the scary things. The fish finally made it out and were able to get some red ...

Rainbow Fish Colors 2 reviews

Rainbow Fish Colors - board book
Rainbow Fish is as colorful as usual on the front and back cover. The inside pages are all about color but are not brightly colored.
Brighter colors would be more stimulating and attractive to the age
group for which this book is intended.

Penguin Pete and Pat1 review
Marcus Pfister
North-South Books, 1996
Cute story, lovely illustrations
I really like this book. The story is cute and endearing, though it would help to have read the earlier books in the series first. It mentions several characters from those books, though they are cameos and are not critical to the story. It also ends rather abruptly as if there should be one more page to give a feeling of closure. That said, it is an enjoyable book, and I even use it when ...

Great Book!
My husband is teaching my two kids German as a second language and this book with the glittering pictures and excellent story is perfect. The kids get very excited when he brings it out. It's amazing how quickly kids can pick up a second language when the learning materials are fun. To anyone who wants to teach their kids German: skip the stuff made to teach a language and buy Marcus Pfister's ...

destined to become a classic children's book.
My 3 year old granddaughter never tires of hearing the story over and over of a selfish fish who learns how to give. The holograms thruout the book fascinate her.

Rainbow Fish Opposites

Up/down, in/out, over/under, big/little, long/short. This glittering board book, filled with colorful images from Rainbow Fish's undersea world, is the perfect introduction for very young children to the concept of opposites. And in keeping with the classic picture book story, The Rainbow Fish , the book ends with the most satisfying opposite of all give/take, showing Rainbow Fish sharing one of this shining scales with a grateful friend.

Exciting book!
This was a great book to read and I just loved Dazzle! I am glad it had a happy ending and Dazzle didn't get eaten by the Dragonsaurus. I really enjoyed the teacher reading this story to our class.

Rainbow Fish A,B,C 2 reviews
Marcus Pfister
North-South Books, 2002
Nice counting book
This is a fun little counting book to learn numbers. The previous reviewer indicated it was for the alphabet, but it is for numbers. You learn colors and numbers by counting different colored fish scales or other objects in the sea that rainbow fish sees. The glittery scales add interest to the pages. Nice book, but nothing terribly outstanding, but then of course, how could a number counting ...
