Big Al is a nice fish. But he is big. And scary-looking. He is a fish with no friends. Then one day Big Al proves what a truly terrific fish he is—and finds a whole school of new friends! “There is a magnificence to Yoshi’s work that matches Clements’ international story of friendship… The book offers a welcome sense of something other than Western culture.”---School Library Journal
