Big Al and Shrimpy is the title of a 2002 children's picture book, written by Andrew Clements and illustrated by Yoshi Kogo. Published by Simon and Schuster in 2002, it is the sequel to the 1989 children's book Big Al.
Kirkus Book Reviews wrote: " Yoshi again uses paint, batik, and embroidery to create blue-lit, deeply shadowed seascapes, populated by brightly colored tropical fish and flora. How Shrimpy persuades the other fish to follow him down into the Big Deep is never made clear, so the episodeâÂÂs internal logic isnâÂÂt quite as watertight as that in Leo LionniâÂÂs Swimmy (1966)âÂÂstill, itâÂÂs good to see Big Al back, and children are always receptive to the idea that size isnâÂÂt everything." and "Clements gives the ugly-but-brave hero of Big Al (1990) a tiny-but-clever buddy in this companion volume."
