Poor Albert is subjected to the show, despite his attempts to protest that he isn't really miserable, it's just the way his face has been made. But it's Sally's dancing finale that has an unexpected outcome for everyone, especially Albert.

This is kind of a weird book. It's almost like what The Pout-Pout Fish would be if it didn't have a message and wasn't bad. It's not an especially good book, it's just weird. Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education including Rainbow Flag and Rights Respecting Schools So it's not bad. It's not great. As I said, it kind of reminds me of what The Pout-Pout Fish could be if that wasn't a bad book. Instead of just complaining to the bear that he looks sad, they actually try to cheer him up. They could have talked to him first, and he would have explained that he wasn't sad, and they wouldn't have needed to go through all the trouble, but they're clearly all well-meaning about it. They're trying to make him feel better, even though he doesn't feel bad to begin with. The Pout-Pout Fish always confused me with whether he was really supposed to be sad or not anyway.
