Vuelve el Pez Arco Iris! En esta nueva y emocionante aventura, EL PEZ ARCO IRIS se encuentra en una encrucijada entre sus nuevos amigos y un pez rayado solitario que no puede unirse al grupo porque le falta una escama brillante. Cuando aparece de repente un tiburón hambriento, el pez arco iris tendrá que tomar una decisión: Debería arriesgarse a perder a sus nuevos amigos, y quizás su vida, por este pequeño desconocido? In this exciting adventure from the NYT bestselling Rainbow Fish series, Rainbow Fish is torn between his newfound friends and a lonely striped fish who is not allowed to join the group because he lacks a shiny scale. But when a dangerous and hungry shark suddenly appears, Rainbow Fish knows in an instant what he must do. He leads his pack of friends out from their safe shelter to protect their new friend--confusing the shark and enabling everyone to safely escape. And soon everyone, including the little striped fish, are playing happily together in the deep blue sea.
