Rainbow Fish and the Big Blue Whale Mini Book (Rainbow Fish & Friends)
by Marcus Pfister · · 2002
In this ocean story, Rainbow Fish and his glittering companions misinterpret the quiet admiration of a large blue whale as a threat to their food supply. As mutual suspicion leads to sharp words and unnecessary tension, the sea creatures find themselves divided over the krill reef. Rainbow Fish takes a thoughtful step to initiate an honest conversation, helping both sides overcome their assumptions and restore peaceful fellowship in their marine habitat.
