Al was an ambulance who did not think he was as smart or important as his other friends in Friendly Town. He wasn't a race car who could drive very fast, could not put out fires, or go in the sea or fight crime. He felt that he was not very exciting and just "took up space." This book taught an important lesson, written creatively in poetic verse, about how he was just as important and valued as his friends who often felt jealous of what Al could do in a day.  It packs an important message to children of all ages that everyone is important in his or her own way. I will definitely be reading this book to my children and their friends and look forward to buying more of Barry J. McDonald's books.
