I advise everyone who reads Rainbow Fish to pick up an Ayn Rand novel. Clearly, the Rainbow Fish was born with advantages to thrive, but the oppressive socialist welfare state forced him to donate his scales to a bunch of leeches. 'Till he himself was left destitute. Doesn't surprise me that in Jill Biden's America that this is seen as an appropriate book for CHILDREN. When my son told me he read this book, I beat him with it to knock some sense into the lad (with my copy of The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (a fantastic book, unlike this demonic piece of 'literature')). My wife divorced me and took the other kid (this one didn't make it after being beaten with this book).
