From Barnes & Noble

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.
