Customer Reviews

Loved It!

This book by Roy Gerrard is fantastic. Definitely geared for a younger crowd, it is adorable with it's realistic Eygptian illustrations and the whole story rhymes too. Just purely enjoyable to read with your little one and the story is easy to follow. We loved the crocodile friend who helps out the 2 little Egyptian children from their predicament. Loved it.

Adventures with a crocodile friend.

This is a 100% classic Roy Gerrard picture story book. The books story and unique full color picture artwork instantly carried me away to the world of ancient Egypt. The main characters, two children and their crocodile friend, kept me anticipating what would happen next with the turn of each page.Gerrard writes his stories in a wonderful poetry form that is fun to read out loud. The only part I did not like was that this book should be read with someone and not alone because the pictures are fun to talk about and share with children.
