A big new fish named Humbert rushes up to Rainbow Fish and tells her he has important news. He tells her that there is a grumpy fish that is going to pull the plug at the bottom of the sea and all the water will drain out of the ocean. The next day Rainbow Fish brings all of her friends to talk to Humbert. Now Humbert tells a new story about fish threatening them.
The next day Humbert tells a story about a blue whale nearby who will eat up all their food. The fish no longer believe anything Humbert says. All the fish won't talk to Humbert any more. Rainbow Fish sees Humbert alone by the rocks. She has an idea that will help Humbert have friends again." 

Rainbow Fish and the Storyteller is a nice story about helping someone with an annoying problem turn it around and find acceptance and friendship. The story seems a bit wordy, but the message is good. The illustrations and shimmery scales are still delightful.
