Customer Reviews
Everyone is seeking the cunning crocodile
in this super story, by Colin West.
Appealing paperback covers open to 18 high quality shiny pages, in the popular 2-page spread format.
Colourfully illustrated throughout this book is further enhanced by meaningful facial expressions and a repeat element.
Clear, easy-to-follow text....enhanced in places.... FOR EFFECT!
Example of text:-
'...."Have you seen the crocodile?" asked the parrot.
"No," said the dragonfly.
"Have you seen the crocodile?" asked the parrot and the dragonfly.
"No," said the bumble bee..........'
And off the new trio go to ask a fourth....then a fifth..........and so the story carries on.
So where is the crocodile?
Hmmm......well, MUCH closer that all think, as it turns out!
In a read-aloud environment this book is VERY popular as it offers great scope for joining in....not just in terms of the repeat elements and the memory game, but also the scanning of the illustrations for clues, generally resulting in the more observant spotting the aforementioned crocodile!
And the ending......keeps the young audience wondering........he didn't, did he?
Oh, and can you spot the frog on the inner cover pages, front and back?
One of a series by this super author/illustrator which includes:-
"Pardon?" said the giraffe
"Not me," said the monkey
"Go tell it to the toucan!"
"Hello, great big bullfrog!"
