A Rainbow of My Own

Great story! Short, sweet, and adorable! Very fun pictures. Really expresses imagination. Had to get a replacement as the first copy had been water damaged before arriving but 3 days later I had the replacement and it was perfectly fine. It’s one of our favorite stories. Anything by Don Freeman is quality bedtime stories. Or any time of day really. We have a large collection of his stories.

Very cute and sweet book.

I wore out two copies of this book because my three kids all adored it. Now I add it to baby shower gifts. It's so simple, but it's quick to read and sweetly fanciful, with a little boy chasing around outside with a pretend rainbow that plays hide-and-seek with him, etc. My oldest is almost fifty and I can still quote the beginning (I think). "Today I saw a rainbow. It was so beautiful I wanted it for my very own..."

Love the book

This is a beautifully illustrated book with a very fun, whimsical story line. I was instantly reminded of the charming and lovable Corduroy and my 5 year old niece was engaged in the story. I am so happy to have found this little treasure - I only wish I'd found it sooner, when my kiddos were still young. (Though as an adult, I'm pretty sure I love it just as much as my little niece.)

This is a lovely book if your child (3 or 4 yrs old) loves rainbows. it's about a child who goes out to find a rainbow and ends up finding a rainbow of colors in a flower patch and then comes home to a rainbow in his room made by the sun shining through his fishbowl water. My daughter loved the dark drawings and the bright rainbows. if i had any negative it would be that the book starts off saying you can never touch or catch a rainbow but then in the second half the child plays on the rainbow like it is a tangible object. little confusing for children.

This is a very cute story with an easy to understand message for children of all ages... we purchased it to go along with some homeschooling lessons on how rainbows are made and my kindergartener loved tying the story into our lessons. I recommend this book for boys and girls ages 3-9 and maybe even older if they enjoy rainbows like I do!

A little boy imagines what it would be like to play with a rainbow, and then comes home to find a real rainbow shining on his wall. This charming book has beautiful, colorful illustrations that captured my imagination as a child, and do the same for my four year old. The text makes it quite clear which parts are in the child's imagination and what really happens, which is a great way to support preschoolers and toddlers who are learning to delineate between what is real and what is pretend. There is about a sentence or two on each page and it's a quick but delightful read. I would recommend this for ages 2.5 through 5.

I was happy to find a book on rainbows the moment my 4 year old daughter asked for a "Rainbow" from Santa Claus.??? So I was to glad to find this story and my daughter was satisfied and pleased that her request was fulfilled.

Lovely artwork telling the tale of a boy wanting his own rainbow and how through his imagination , what he would do if he. Oils have one.. eventually has one in his own room

Una historia muy chula.

A lovely story to tell to young children, my 4year olds loved it and then we created the school over selves

What a tresure of a book. Perfect for a child with a vivid imagination. We came across this book as a local school with a high intake of overseas children. I searched high and low for it in the UK only to find it originated in The States. In the end thanks to Amazon, I ordered it from a third party seller based in Atlanta, USA. Highly recommended!
