But because Big Al is large and scary-looking, the little fish are afraid to get to know him. \u003cbr\u003eWhat can he do? He tries everything he can think of -- from disguising himself with seaweed to burrowing under the ocean floor so he'll look smaller. But something always goes wrong, and lonely Big Al wonders if he'll ever have a single friend. Then one frightening day, when a fishing net captures the other fish, Big Al gets the chance to prove what a wonderful friend he can be!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Clements (1949-2019) was the author of the enormously popular \u003ci\u003eFrindle\u003c\/i\u003e.
