Al's parents and the local townsfolk worry that his wild, unpredictable behavior only creates mischief & mayhem.
 
One day, Al spots a baby whale beached on the shore.  For Al, saving the whale is another adventure.  For his parents and friends, this becomes a glimpse into Al’s world - and a lesson that Al’s take on life may just make the world a better place.  This exciting story, which alternates between the way Al sees the world and the way everyone else sees it, is sure to spark the imagination of every young child.
