Rating: Summary: Review of Swimmy Review: I must have read this book a hundred times since I was first read the story in a graduate course in education.

Rating: 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: 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: 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--
