Swimmy by Leo Lionni

Swimmy (Knopf Children's Paperbacks)

by Leo Lionni

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.

Another one from the [b:The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury: Celebrated Picture Books and Stories to Read Aloud|238068|The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury Celebrated Picture Books and Stories to Read Aloud|Janet Schulman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1411333628s/238068.jpg|230604] that loses a lot with miniature images. As for Swimmy I think its a cute short tale and with larger images to be able see more detail could be quite enchanting.
