Helpful Score: 3
While many see this book as a lesson on sharing, it's closer to one of conformity. The Rainbow fish is singled out because he is concited (yes, a negative trait) - but also because he won't share (or give up) that what makes him different. In the end, he gives all his rainbow scales, save one, to the rest of the fish - so they all look alike and ultimately become friends. While sharing is a positive lesson, giving up individuality for the sake of "fitting in" is NOT the lesson I want my children (or my students) to learn. Please, take my copy of this awful book!
