Summary

Perfect for bedtime with the youngest readers, the seventh book in the New York Times bestselling Rainbow Fish series.

When Little Rainbow Fish can't fall asleep, there's only one thing that can help--his Mommy! Little Rainbow Fish's mom promises to watch over him, no matter if he is in the ink cloud of an octopus, lost in the deep blue sea, or simply having a bad dream. A sweet adaptation of the hardcover storybook.

"Just the thing to help calm nerves when the day is almost done."--Booklist

School Library Journal Review

PreS-K-It is difficult to understand what the creative impetus might have been for this picture book. There is little, if anything, that is new in the story line. Little Rainbow Fish is having difficulty falling asleep and wants his mother. He thinks of different scenarios in which he might get scared and asks if she will be there for him. Of course, she answers that she will protect and love him no matter what. Sounds familiar? The bright color illustrations of the fish are filled with familiar silvery scales that children are bound to enjoy. Overall, though, the book is nothing special.-Mary Cass Mabbot, Indianapolis Public Library, IN (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
