Crocs!

Isaac was drawn immediately to the front cover of Crocs! Parish and Isaac enjoyed the illustrations of the bugs, rats, cats, and crocs. They searched each page for hidden crocs. Parish loved all of the disguises the crocs wore, and Isaac especially liked the firefighter outfit. Parish caught the rhythm of the story from the beginning. She enjoyed it so much that she wanted to repeat each line with me. This book is fun! Parish and Isaac loved it and think it is a keeper. Your toddler/pre-schooler/elementary school student will, also.

My grandchildren love silly books with colorful and interesting characters. So do I. As the reader, I think it's almost as important that the adults like the books we buy and read to our little loved ones. Crocs! by David T. Greenberg was a big hit this weekend. My three- and five-year-old grandsons and even my six-year-old granddaughter loved Crocs! and wanted it read again and again. Crocs! is the delightful, humorous story, told in rhyme, of the adventure of a little boy leaving the city because of all the 'horrifying critters.' Imagine his surprise when he thinks he's leaving for a much-needed vacation from those troublesome critters and he is invaded by Crocs who assault his little island. Well, the rest is a madcap adventure with a really big surprise ending. I won't tell you what it is, but the island itself is involved. Kids are going to love the story and the illustrations add so much to the adventure. I thought my three-year-old grandson might be a bit frightened by some of the pictures, but no, he clapped his hands and yelled 'again!' when the book was finished. Armchair Interviews says: Crocs! Is a whimsical story that will be requested again and again
