El Pez Arco Iris: (Spanish Edition)

by Marcus Pfister

Overview

The Spanish language edition of the New York Times Bestselling book–The Rainbow Fish.

Eye-catching foil stamping, glittering on every page, offers instant child appeal but it is the universal message at the heart of this simple story about a beautiful fish who learns to make friends by sharing his most prized possessions that gives the book its lasting value.

El pez arco iris, gracias a sus relucientes escamas, es el pez más bonito de todo el océano. Sin embargo, se encuentras solo. ¿Por qué los demás peces no quieren jugar con él?

The rainbow fish with its iridescent scales is the most beautiful fish in the whole ocean. But since he is also vain and proud, he becomes more and more lonely over time. Then he realizes that you can’t win friends through beauty. He overcomes his pride and begins to distribute his glitter scales to the other fish.

Editorial Reviews

Todos los peces del océano admiran las escamas plateadas que brillan sobre el cuerpo multicolor de Pez Arco Iris y quieren jugar con él. Sin embargo, Pez Arco Iris es demasiado orgulloso para jugar con ellos. Siquiera para compartir el destello de sus hermosas escamas. Sólo y sin amigos, Pez Arco Iris pronto aprende que la generosidad es mucho más gratificante que la vanidad. Pfister emplea de un modo novedoso aluminio con los colores del arco iris para crear las escamas de Pez Arco Iris.

Shining from Rainbow Fish's multicolored body are several shimmering silver scales. All the other fish in the ocean admire him and want to play, but Rainbow Fish is too proud to play with them; nor will he share his sparkling scales. Alone and friendless, Rainbow Fish soon learns that generosity is far more rewarding than vanity. Pfister makes novel use of rainbow-colored foil to create Rainbow Fish's scales.

The hologram-hued hero of The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister will now glitter and shimmer in even younger hands, in a new board book edition. Also available in Spanish as El pez arco iris. (North-South, $9.95 ages 1-3 ISBN 1-55858-536-2, Spanish, -559-1, Mar.)
