Daffodil, Crocodile

By Emily Jenkins

Triplet Daffodil does not want to be as sweet as a flower, and she is sick and tired of constantly being mistaken for her sisters. With a papier-mache crocodile head and a ?Raaa raaa raaa chomp chomp chomp, ? Daffodil embarks on a day of getting dirty, biting trees, and playing with her food. One thing is for sure ? everyone knows the crocodile is DAFFODIL, not Rose or Violet. But what is Daffodil to do when her crocodile head falls apart? Will she go back to being a pretty, clean little flower of a girl? Bright illustrations enliven this charming story of a spunky heroine asserting herself as an individual."

A rowdy little girl asserts herself

This is the second book in Emily Jenkins' delightful series about a headstrong young girl named Daffodil, who asserts her own individuality and resists being typecast as a "good girl" or lumped in along with her identical triplet sisters, Violet and Rose. If you liked the first book, "Daffodil," you'll love this one, too. (ReadThatAgain book reviews)
