Brief summary: Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in the whole ocean! He has scales that glitter. Even though other fish try to befriend Rainbow Fish, he just ignores them. That is, until one day Blue Fish asks for one of Rainbow Fish's glittery scales. He then realizes how along he truly is. What will Rainbow Fish do now?
How you would use the book with students.: I would use this with students to teach about inner beauty and what it means to have real friends. These are both important topics for students to learn now with how vain most parts of the world are.
