My 2 year old loves Swimmy. The message is simple, but valuable: no matter how small the individual, there is strength in numbers and teamwork. The artwork is also very unique as are all of the illustrations in each Lionni book. This one is a keeper.

A picture book, in which a small fish organizes the other fish in his school to swim in formation so that they look like an enormous fish and frighten away the big fish that would otherwise eat them. Lionni's illustrations of the wonders found in the ocean, made, I think, with different items used as stamps on a colored background, are incredibly beautiful. This book was, deservedly, a Caldecott Medal Honor Book.

This is a cute book about how all the little fish work together to act as one big fish. This is an easy reader about a 1st grade level.
