The ninth book in the New York Times bestselling Rainbow Fish series.

The vibrant, beautiful watercolor paintings enhance this important lesson for young children about making friends and not telling lies.
–OmniLibros

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 familiar characters taking on an unusual topic make this a book to consider anywhere this series is popular.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-K-Rainbow Fish is back in this new tale about a subject relevant to this age group-fibs and exaggerations. When Humbert, a new fish on the block, tells a story about a grumpy fish who might pull a plug that will drain the ocean, Rainbow Fish is skeptical. Why would a fish want to drain the ocean? Rainbow Fish and his friends confront Humbert, but he's already telling a new tale-this one about mean fish who want to take over their territory. The friends quickly come to understand that the stories are lies, and they begin avoiding Humbert. When Rainbow Fish sees Humbert all alone, he crafts a positive solution for this imaginative newcomer: Humbert becomes the official resident storyteller. The story and illustrations fall a bit flat; there are no real consequences to Humbert's telling tall tales as the lies are never truly believed, and the ending is pat. The characteristic foil scales and occasional punches of red and orange add some visual interest to an otherwise blue-green dominated seascape. VERDICT The familiar characters taking on an unusual topic make this a book to consider anywhere this series is popular.-Lindsay Loupα(c) Copyright 2011.

Review

"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

 It is a book that deserves a place in every library. ― Just Imagine

"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

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful colors with good story
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2022
The colors of the pictures in this story are so vibrant and beautiful. Rainbow Fish is also a good story with a lesson for young children. In this instance, Humbert is a fish that tells the other fish fantastic stories. When they realize his stories are to scare them and aren't true, no one wants to play with Humbert. But, then Humbert is all alone. So, Rainbow Fish asks Humbert to use his storytelling for good. Sometimes Humbert exaggerates, but the fish bring him back to reality. All the fish enjoy Humbert's wonderful stories.
A good lesson not to lie and to tell stories that are lies, but instead weave stories that are interesting and true.

5.0 out of 5 stars cute, colorful, great message
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2022
This was such a cute book! It had a great message about making friends and not telling lies to get their attention. The illustrations were beautiful and I absolutely loved all the bright colors. It was a really fun read and I think it would be great to have in a classroom library.

Kiddo (8) read it with me and enjoyed it a lot. He thought the illustrations were beautiful. He read the text out loud to me and had no problems with understanding it. He also found the idea of a plug at the bottom of the sea very funny.

I especially liked how Rainbow Fish realized Humbert was lonely and worked with him to find a way for him to use his storytelling abilities for good to make friends rather than pushing them away with lies.

I received a review copy of this book.
