Rainbow (What The) Fish

Whenever Mummy's web surfing, I'll try to read up on some parenting and eduational tips. From my 'research', I learned about an award winning book - Rainbow Fish which is about a beautiful fish who finds happiness when he learns to share. The book is best known for its morals about the value of being an individual. U know what? It is so popular that it is turned into a 26-episode animated television series, adapted into a musical production, has various sequels and available in software too! There were also tonnes of educational activites and craft ideas on the web to accompany this title! I have to have a read! Where else but to get it from NLB. Gaga.

Rynae loves the story and I also highlighted to her the undesirable result of selfishness and vanity on friendship and taught her about the virtue of sharing. We made paper plate Rainbow Fish too! She did one and I did one. Initially, she wanna give up after pasting a few scales, citing reason that she is tired (well, more to lazy actually) but I urged her on by telling her that the fish will feel cold if there aren't enough scales to keep it warm! She persisted and finally finish the fish decently. We enacted out the story with the fish after that.
