Crocs!
by David T. Greenberg
Illustrated by Lynn Munsinger
Children exuberantly gravitate for Crocs! at bedtime. Whether it's due to Lynn Munsinger's hilarious pictures
of crocodiles acting distinctly like humans, or the amusing way author David Greenberg introduces challenging
vocabulary words through rhyme, I can't be certain; but they love this book. Picture your sons and daughters sitting
in rapt attention while they watch crocodiles take on the guise of detectives, punks, and community helpers. There
is so much action in the pictures kids find something new to point out every time they read it. Be prepared for more
though, the back cover features pictures of the author's four other books:
Snakes!,
Skunks!,
Bugs! and
Slugs on the
back cover to hunt down. Beginning readers might struggle with some of the bigger words, so that makes Crocs!
a perfect choice to read together. Cuddle up with your little one for Crocs! and enjoy. |
