Customer Reviews

stunning oil paintings, rhythmic text combine to take your breath away

This book is amazing. I never thought twice about the life of a crocodile! Every page pulls you deeper into a sultry swamp, teeming with life. The illustrations are rich and deep, but it's the text that really makes this book something special. You are truly holding your breath as you turn each page, drawn into the magic and mystery of this amazing animal. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to share the natural world with a young child. Crocodile is intense, not scary, and beautifully done. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a strong 11.

Great Book about Crocodiles

This is a non-fiction text about a Crocodile's life in Florida for a year. It provides more in depth background knowledge in the back of the book. The illustrations are beautiful. I highly recommend this book.
