Clements, Andrew (1988). Big Al (Gr. PreS-2)
Al is a big, scary-looking fish. None of the little fish will get close enough to find out that Al is also the nicest fish you'll ever find in the ocean. Poor, lonely Al tries everything to disguise himself: he wraps himself in seaweed, he buries himself in sand, and he even tries to change his color. Still, everyone is frightened by his scary teeth and enormous mouth. When danger comes along, Big Al finally gets to prove his kindness and bravery.
Big Al's gentle, funny story reminds us that actions speak louder than words--and that looks don't tell us everything about the people around us.
