There’s more to a crocodile than its scaly skin and scary teeth—they stay cool under pressure (in part because they can’t sweat) and on a rainy day they love nothing more than a fast game of Snap!
In this humorous, energetically rhyming tale, a little girl experiences exactly what life would be like with a wild creature for a pet. The latest in the bestselling If I Had a . . . series, If I Had a Crocodile celebrates the fun of having a sassy, snappy pet.
Reviews
The rhyming and rhythm are irresistible, ideal for storytime, with plenty of fun vocabulary… Strikingly composed illustrations are as important as words… Snappy images and jazzy rhymes make this a delight to read aloud.
