When Rainbow Fish gets lost in an undersea storm and loses his way, he makes some new friends who help him find his way home where he is reunited with his sparkling school of fish.

Gr 1 While collecting blue pebbles from the ocean floor, Rainbow Fish disregards his friend’s warnings and gets swept away in a storm. Far from his normal habitat, he finds himself lost. A puffer fish, scallop, and others attempt to guide him home, to no avail. Eventually, however, he is escorted back. Blues and greens fill the pages, which teem with fish and plant life, and Rainbow Fish wears his trademark scales and expressive face. If you have a large collection of Pfister’s work, add this to it; otherwise, don’t let it hook you as the storywith its moral of asking for help and helping othersdoesn’t make enough of a splash on its own.Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX
