About the Book
A little black fish in a school of red fish figures out a way of protecting them all from their natural enemies.Book Synopsis
The gorgeous, Caldecott Honor-winning tale of a very clever fish by beloved picture book creator Leo Lionni. Deep in the sea lives a happy school of fish. Their watery world is full of wonders, but there is also danger, and the little fish are afraid to come out of hiding . . . until Swimmy comes along. Swimmy shows his friends how--with ingenuity and team work--they can overcome any danger. Winner of the 1964 Caldecott Honor, this beloved tale of a brave little fish has been a favorite to generations of readers. To celebrate Swimmy's fiftieth anniversary, we are issuing a handsome special edition hardcover that includes a bonus poster.Review Quotes
"An exquisite picture book." --School Library Journal (Starred Review) "Each of his [Lionni's] books is self-consistent, a world unto itself. . . . Here is Swimmy: a tiny, insignificant fish in the vast and wide ocean who is ingenious enough to fend off the big, bad bully." --Eric Carle, author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Meh. It's a nice board book, but the pictures weren't that great, and the story wasn't that great either. I got this because I saw that it was available as a board book, which is sturdy enough for babies and toddlers, and that this was a Caldecott Medal Honor book... so I was expecting this to be like The Pout, Pout Fish - which is a book that I love and my son loved, but this book is kind of mediocre though.
