Rainbow fish meets Humbert, a new fish, and becomes friends with him. But he is not sure about the tales Humbert tells day after day. Rainbow fish and his friends soon stop believing Humbert.

Humbert is now sad that no one wants to talk to him. Rainbow fish and his friends come up with a plan to cheer up Humbert. After all, Humbert is a storyteller. Why not ask him to tell them happy and entertaining stories instead of scary ones?

The story has a similar theme to The Boy and The Wolf but with a cute twist. Humbert is the boy here who spins false tales. But he redeems himself by becoming a storyteller for the other fish.

The illustrations are beautiful. The fish are cute and squishy. The aquatic background and blend of colors make the illustrations pleasing yet colorful.

However, the text seems to be a bit hard for little ones. The first sentence is two and a half lines long. Some dialogues are longish for kids.

Nevertheless, Rainbow Fish and the Storyteller is a sweet and cute book with a moral lesson, some entertainment, and lovely illustrations.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and NorthSouth Books and am voluntarily leaving a review.
