The Adventures of Oliver the Clownfish: Acting Cool
Oliver wants to look cool in front of his friends. He isn’t sure if he should be friends with Dolly, a dolphin who looks different. Oliver learns the true meaning of friendship, and the relative unimportance of physical appearance in choosing valued friends.
Great story to help children learn about peer pressure.
