Review of 'The rainbow fish' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Lovely art. However, anything with a message of, "If beautiful, cut off parts of yourself and give 'em away to others," Is, at a minimum, creepy. I know there's a whole sharing = friends undertone, but...

I have opinions. Telling folks they can't win unless they diminish themselves... that's not cool. Even when it's probably not the intent.

And yeah, this could easily have gone the route of, "Being nice and kind to folks is a decent way to make friends," Instead.
