A big guy with an even bigger heart, Fat Albert is the lovable leader of the Cosby kids. When someone has a problem, Fat Albert's mission is to solve it. But, when he comes to help this time, Fat Albert has to face a new situation all his own - falling in love!

Our multicultural books were featured prominently in the family friendly Fat Albert movie. In the scene to the right, you can see most of our multicultural books displayed on the table as two of the characters discussed Black History.

In this charming movie, as in real life, there is a wonderful diversity of backgrounds among the students at the school. Of course, 20th Century Fox (producers of the Fat Albert movie) recognized this, and in the summer of 2004, they ordered several of our titles to highlight a few scenes of how the Fat Albert Gang were adjusting to their new surroundings.

Our multicultural books are a wonderful addition for any school, library or home collection. Hey, Hey, Hey!
