Another cute addition to the Rainbow Fish collection. Marcus Pfister has created a beautiful character that continues to grow and make inroads in the hearts of his readers.

This is a gorgeous children's book, which has beautiful illustrations showing Rainbow Fish and his friends. My daughter and I loved it. It is the ninth book in a series.

The story is about Rainbow Fish meeting his new friend, who is called Humbert. Humbert always tells weird stories, which the other fish find strange. They have to come up with a way to stop Humbert telling tales, so that they can all be friendly with each other and close.

This is a really lovely book, which I highly recommend, although I wish the ending of the book had been a bit longer.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

In Rainbow Fish and the Storyteller, the titular storyteller stirs up trouble by presenting lies as truth. His sea-dwelling friends catch on quickly, however, and help him see that he can accept his gifts as a storyteller without pretending that the stories are real. The beautiful illustrations add interest to an already interesting story. This is a great book to show how to confront problems kindly and recognize how to share gifts without causing harm. I will be adding this to my library collection.

A great kids book about telling lies with a great moral plot. Really loved the illustrations as well!!

I love these kind of stories. I didn't know it was part of a series but now I'm going to find the other installations as well.

I have been requesting more ARC's for kids books to read with my daughter. Rainbow Fish was a favorite of mine when I was babysitting as a teenager and it makes my heart happy to share these stories with my little girl now! The formatting in the digital ARC but following the pictures to words a little difficult for my 3 year old but the story was entertaining and the illustrations delightful!

I cannot remember the last time I read a Rainbow fish book. But this was so freaking cute, of him getting a new friend who liked to make up tales

Rainbow Fish is one of my daughter's favorite books, so we were excited about this one. It was full of beautiful illustrations, and we enjoyed the story! Great addition, to our collection.

I'm in the thirties and I can remember Rainbow Fish for when I was in grade school. Seeing this book come my way was nostalgia in on a screen. Love the illustrations, I'm sure in a printed book it'll be even more magical.

I have always enjoyed the story of "Rainbow Fish" and was excited to see a new installment in the series. In this book, there is a fish named Humbert who tells Rainbow Fish and his friends tall tales in order to get attention. The other fish decide that they don't like being scared by Humbert so stop listening to him. Then they feel bad that Humbert is alone and devise a plan for him to share his stories in a more positive way.

The illustrations are beautiful, as with all of the books in this series. The story was simple and taught lessons about telling the truth and about friendship. Children of preschool and Kindergarten age will enjoy this story. It could also be used in the classroom for teachers to introduce storytelling and have the students create their own stories to share.

Thank you to #NetGalley for an eARC of #RainbowFishandtheStoryteller by #MarcusPfister - 3.5 stars

My grandsons loved this book which is my best measure to rate a children’s book. They loved the colorful illustrations and the story. They asked to read it multiple times. One is 7 and the other 4 so I think this indicates it has a broad audience.

My kid enjoyed reading this book. It's eye catching illustrations kept him engaged from start to finish!

The Rainbow Fish meets a new friend, Humbert, and is surprised to find that he makes up silly stories to scare or confuse his friends. This continues until the fish friends come up with an idea of how Humbert can use his storytelling for something good.
I have read the original Rainbow Fish book to my students and my own sons many times, but this installment missed the mark for me. The illustrations were great, as expected, but the story itself felt disjointed and the ending seemed abrupt. I suppose there is a lesson to be learned like the original, but I would skip reading this to my students and son.

A Rainbow Fish take on the Boy Who Cried Wolf with a wonderful twist. Beautiful illustrations that Marcus Pfister books are known for, sure to be another classic.

This was absolutely delightful. Filled with the fun illustrations we have come to expect with a Rainbow Fish book, this story is both fun and full of lessons on what constitutes a story [and how fun they can be] and what is lying and storytelling to scare or bully.

Told in a lovely, simple way, kids will love this and will enjoy exploring more with the adults in their lives ways to make sure their stories don't become something that is deliberately not true.

Thank you to NetGalley, Marcus Pfister, David Henry Wilson - Translator, and NorthSouth Books for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was overjoyed to see a new installation in the Rainbow Fish franchise, as I remember being absolutely enamored with the bright, beautiful scales and illustrations and story of Rainbow Fish as a little one. This one is all about Rainbow Fish’s new friend, Humbert, and Humbert’s unfortunate habit of making up crazy tales. How do Rainbow Fish and his friends deal with this? Well, just read and find out. A new spin on a beloved classic that will have your little ones wanting to take a dip under the sea into the colorful world of Rainbow Fish.

Rainbow Fish and the Storyteller by Marcus Pfister is a cute story. Rainbow Fish and the Storyteller is a story that essentially talks about lying. I love the Rainbow Fish series and think Rainbow Fish and the Storyteller is a great addition to the story collection. This book teaches a great lesson and I believe it would be great for any story time. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. My review is also on Goodreads.

The Rainbow Fish is a children’s tale that continues through this story with a sweet storyteller friend..

What another good story to read.
Marcus Pfister really knows how to tell a really good story with a heart warming ending.
My son has read this book so many times and each time he learnt something different.
We hope there will be more to come in the Rainbow Fish series.

I was excited to see a new book about Rainbow Fish. The storyline of a fish who tells tall tales as if they were true. At first, I wondered if this book had a political slant, but it resolved without one. The layout and typography of the book looked dated. The beautiful illustrations could have expanded into a few pages that were white with text.
