Review: My daughter, now 19, still vividly remembers how, as a little girl, she insisted on this book every night at bedtime -- alomst as vividly as I remember the joy I felt in seeing the light in her shining eyes every time I read it to her.

Read this one to your child, and together you will embark on a journey of love and imagination.

Summary: Swimmy is a great book
Review: Swimmy by Leo Lioni is fictional. This brave book is really excitciting if you want to read something in some free time. If you have the courage and are interested in reading this book I bet you will like it. The pictures in this book are amazing, they have a lot a details. Its like reading a book without words. I reccommend this book to grades 2-4, little kids will like the pictures and older children can practice thier fluency.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A sensational book for beginner readers! Delightful!
Review: Swimmy shows the courage of every little fish inside of us!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderfully imaginative and inspiring!
Review: This book is a must for all libraries!!! Leo Lionni is well known for his orginal art and he does not disappoint in this book. The artwork is so creative and imaginative. The theme of this story is also significant that our differences are what make us unique and we can use those qualities to help others in different ways like Swimmy is able to in this story. You must read this book, if not for the sweet story for the great artwork.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Swimmy is a fantastic, inspiring fish for all ages!
Review: This book is a must for every child's library. There are so many topics of discussion that can be brought out with just this one book. Friendship, courage, cooperation, and the ocean life are just a few. If you are a teacher, or have young children, this book is a must.

Note to teachers: I use this during my ocean unit in kindergarten. We then make an ocean mural. Every child makes a red fish and I make a black fish, which is Swimmy. We then work together to make all of our fish look like one big fish. The children love it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SWIMMY big hit with kindergartners.
Review: Used this book with a summer enrichment program and saw children become engaged and enthusiastic about ocean life and the concept of "schools" of fish--

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Review of Swimmy
Review: Who couldn't love the adorable fish that devises the perfect plan. At first this tiny little black fish is the only survivor of his large group of red fish. All alone he sets off to explore the ocean I love how Leo Lionni describes the sea animals Swimmy meets along the way. "The sea anemones, who look like pink palm trees swaying in the wind" and "an eel whose tail was almost too far away remember." Finally Swimmy meets up with another group of friends but they are afraid to explore the ocean like Swimmy does. So Swimmy devises a plan where all the fish group together in the shape of a large fish with Swimmy as the eye. All together they are safe from danger. This book teaches children do many great lessons. It shows them how when you work together you can do anything! This is an excellent book to use in classrooms with young children!
