#5


When I was young, my favorite book of all time was Rainbow Fish. I remember having my mom check it out of my kindergarten's library almost every week, until she eventually bought the book for me. Of course what initially drew me to it was it's colorful and shiny cover. The book itself though, I could relate to. It's about a fish with unusually shiny and colorful scales who doesn't want to share his scales with any of the other fish, so they stop talking to him. He asks for advice from the Octopus lady..oracle woman.. and she tells him to share his shiny scales with the other fish. He does and then he's left with one shiny scale but he doesn't mind because after that, everyone had one shiny scale and he had friends. I could relate to it so well because, as an only child, I had a big issue with sharing. I remember slightly agreeing with Rainbow Fish, thinking that he shouldn't share. That was the beesssttt book.
