What is the name of the children's book with the shiny silver fish?

I'm purchasing a gift of baby books for a pregnant friend. I'd like to get a book I've read to several children I've babysat, but I can't remember the name. It is beautifully illustrated with a shiny silver fish, and I just can't remember what it's called!





On a related note, if you have any great suggestions for books for a newborn, please let me know. Right now, I'm planning to get Goodnight Moon, Pat the Bunny, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Where's Spot, and possibly Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?, Where is Baby's Belly Button?, and Ten Little Ladybugs.





Thanks!

Raibow fish, I think. Oh, I love goodnight moon! Look for the 'classics' books with the golden spines, those are good. Also the "diary of a (worm, spider, etc.) books are cute. On a side note, try getting the stuffed goodnight moon bunny, it's adorable.

Reply:RAINBOW FISH..MY BOYS LOVE THAT BOOK.
Reply:One of my favorites that was given to our son when he was born was Guess How Much I Love You (made me tear up every time I read it). My son also really loved the Sandra Boynton books -- The Going to Bed Book is always a classic. Good Night Gorilla is one of the most beautifully illustrated board books out there and kids really love it.





For newborns, I love On The Day You Were Born -- it is such a heartwarming story of the joy of birth. My son is just now starting to understand the story and thinks it is so great how the "baby" in the story was so warmly welcomed into the world.





Books and the love of reading is a wonderful gift that can never be lost!
Reply:Rainbow Fish. They're some really good books for children. Harold and the Purple Crayon (and I believe Harold has another book as well) would be another good one.
Reply:Its called rainbow fish.
Reply:Oh I know, at least I think I do. The shiny fish book is:


"Rainbow Fish and Friends" by Marcus Pfister


the one my kids have is "The Copycat Fish"





Books I love for my twins who are one are:





1. Fuzzy, Fuzzy, Fuzzy (Sandra Boynton) this is a touch feel book


anything by her is cute and they come mostly in board books





2.My Friend Bear (Jez Alborough)





The ones on your list are great! What a fun idea as a baby shower gift.
Reply:My daughters love the Olivia books, and we have a half dozen Boynton books. The Going to Bed Book is my favorite, but all the Boynton books are just adorable, I love them and so do the girls.





Not sure if it comes in a board book, but I love The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. And there is also Guess How Much I Love You.





There is another book where a mom goes in her son's room at night and says, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." I can't remember for sure, but I think it's I'll Love You Forever.





And I love Dr. Seuss. For babies, there is the Foot Book, Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?, and an ABCs book.





Happy baby book hunting!!
Reply:Get board books, they're pretty hardy. Dr. Suess and Boynton books are a huge hit too. Polar Bear, Polar Bear What do you Hear?, The Velveteen Rabbit, Where the Wild Things Are, any Early Learning board books - like the ABC book, Guess How Much I Love You, No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.





Target has all the great board books all grouped together in their book section. Go have a blast!
