It was, and is probably, rare to have reptiles as the protagonists in a children’s book which is why this book piqued our interest.
Meet two friends, Crocodile and Alligator in two tales. Hide and Seek humorously shows how hard it is to hide when you have a big tail.
In the second story, the friends attempt to bake a cake while munching on the ingredients. Well, you can imagine how that turned out! :-)
The reptiles have been made as friendly as possible and the kids were just fine with it, too. In fact, our younger children lost their fear of the dreaded crocodile, which, until this book came along, has been their favorite villain.
Excerpt
“Coming, ready or not!” called Crocodile.
He looked to the left.
He looked to the right.
He looked up and he looked down.
And then …
“Found you! Found you! I can see your tail!” he sang.
