DESCRIPTION:
They copy him when he rolls in a mud puddle, sunbathes on the shore, floats on a log down a river, and sits on a mountaintop. Each time he discovers a tranquil place, his friends find him and join in the fun of his discovery. Painted in bright pink, Crocodile stands out from the rest of the cool-hued crowd. The rhythmic pacing and effective use of dialogue make this an ideal book for reading aloud. From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 4--Crocodile lives in a pool of water with many of his kind.

Crocodile has a big imagination. No matter what he does, all the other crocs follow him and copy him every time! Crocodile finally manages to escape his fellow crocs, only to discover a surprising truth: being by himself is not nearly as much fun as being with his friends.
MY 3 1/2 YR OLD LOVES THIS AND SO DO I This is a quality childrens book, with cute illustrations and a simple tale that my daughter loves.

My 3.5 year old really enjoys this book. Tshe crocodile's efforts to find some alone time and space seem to really speak to my sons introverted self. But I think there is a good message in this book for him -- that it is fun to spend time alone but also fun to share activities with friends. This book also seems perfect for the kid who gets annoyed by a younger sibling wanting to follow him or her aroun
