2 Year Old Son Loves This Book

We checked this book out from the library and our son absolutely loved it, so we checked it out a few more times! Now I am buying it for a Christmas gift for him and for a friend.

Teaches time well

This book is a great book to teach o'clock of time. Students loved listening to the book and reviewing the book with a clock as an introduction to time. I highly recommend the book.

Great book - personality, time-telling, character, voice.

I don't buy many books because we use our public library CONSTANTLY, but every once in awhile I simply MUST add a book to our collection. This is one of those books. There is a rhythm and flow to the words that my 4 year old loves. He is already reading, and as he reads the story to me I hear the echo of my inflections and pace. The "back and forth" between the monkeys and Mr. Crocodile is delightful and intriguing. The attention to detail in the art is wonderful - the book about gravity falling on the crocodile's head, the "sand crocodile," etc. Even my husband, who hates kids' books, didn't mind this one because he was busy looking at the details of the pages with the kids. I initially picked this book up at the library because my son loves clocks. He was not disappointed in this book - a clock on every page! And, again, the details were great - we got to talk about different kinds of clocks, including sundials, and different styles of lettering, including Roman numerals. My 2 year old also loves this book. Mostly because she IS a monkey . . . and I think the cute critters in this book give her ideas. We are putting this book on our shelves to come back to again and again.

What Time Is It, Mr Crocodile?

Just borrowed it from the library - had to read it five times already! Our 4-year-old loves it and has most of it memorized already. It's an awesome book, we highly recommend it!

Great book!

This book is so much fun. My 3 year old, as well as 16 month old love to read this before bed every night. Highly recommended!
