The Copycat Fish: Rainbow Fish & Friends [With 2 Pages of Stickers]

Marcus Pfister, Gail Donovan, Based On Books by Pfister. NorthSouth, $3.99 (24pp) ISBN 978-1-59014-000-0

Rainbow Fish & Friends kicks off with a quartet of titles by Gail Donovan, illus. by David Austin Clar Studio, that introduce the students in Miss Cuttle's underwater class. Tug mimics everything Rainbow Fish does in The Copycat Fish and then gets separated from the class on a field trip in Lost at Sea. Angel challenges Puffer's exaggerated stories in A Fishy Story; and no one can agree on what makes something a treasure in Hidden Treasures. Each book features a holographic foil-stamped cover (though no glitter appears inside) plus a sheet of full-color holographic foil stickers. (Aug.)
