Horn Book Review

Each of these spin-off books features Marcus Pfister's popular Rainbow Fish, his "school"-mates, and their teacher as they tackle some kind of social conflict--copycatting, exaggerating, or wandering off during a field trip. Fans won't mind the didactic messages and pat resolutions, but they'll probably miss the sparkly foil accents, which only appear on the jackets.
