The Rainbow Fish is another classic children's book that I loved when I was in elementary school. All the pages, have foil-like paper so it is appealing to a young reader's eye. The fish in this book has a hard time making friends because when one of the other fish asked him for one of his shiny scales, he refused to give them up. After the rainbow fish realized no one wanted to be his friend, he learned to share his possessions. I would use this in my classroom to help students learn the importance of sharing. I would use this in a kindergarten classroom because some students never have to learn to share their possessions, but its important to teach that lesson when the students start school and have to learn to share. The intended audience for this book is children aged 3-5.
