Rainbow Fish and the Storyteller

A sparkling book about tall tales!

When Rainbow Fish meets a new friend, Humbert, he isn’t sure what to think. Humbert tells all kinds of strange stories: Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean there’s a plug!

There’s a blue whale living near here . . . and he’s going to eat up all of our food.

But before Rainbow Fish and his friends panic, they realize that Humbert just likes to make up tall tales. Rainbow Fish and his friends soon come up with an idea that might make them all happy—even Humbert.

"The vibrant, beautiful watercolor paintings enhance this important lesson for young children about making friends and not telling lies."-- "OmniLibros"
"The familiar characters taking on an unusual topic make this a book to consider anywhere this series is popular."-- "School Library Journal"
"This is a universal story about friendship with a lesson somewhat like that of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." The story is a good one on its own, but the colorful, sparkly illustrations make it even better."-- "Midwest Book Review"
"It is a book that deserves a place in every library."--Anne Bradley "Just Imagine"
