The paperback edition of the sixth book in the New York Times bestselling Rainbow Fish series.

On his journey into the deep sea he discovers that fear can hold you back from discovering life’s great wonders, and from making new friends too.

Ages 3^-5. Rainbow Fish and his friends enjoy eating the krill, or tiny shrimp, that populate the ocean floor. When a big whale comes into the area, he starts eating krill, too. Soon the fish worry that he'll eat them, and they hide when he's around. The hurt whale pretends that is just what he's going to do, but in the end, Rainbow Fish and the whale have a laugh over the misunderstanding, and everything works out fine--except for the krill, of course. The message--don't make assumptions about creatures that are different--is slightly garbled, and the story itself bland. But the pictures are as shiny as ever, which is the main attraction, anyway.

Summary: The most beautiful fish in the entire ocean discovers the real value of personal beauty and friendship.
