Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When Kyle the crocodile wakes up feeling grumpy, his mother says Looks like you lost your smile, Kyle. Why don't you go out and play? You'll soon find it again. So Kyle sets out into the jungle, hoping to find his smile. All his friends greet him with the same question, Where's your smile, Crocodile? and do their best to cheer Kyle up. Parrot tries silly sounds and Orange Monkey makes funny faces. Even Elephant attempts to bring back Kyle's smile by blowing noisy bubbles, but none of the animal tricks work. It's only when Kyle meets a lost lion cub that he discovers that helping someone else is a great way to find your smile.Claire Freedman's gentle story is enhanced by the fun, bold illustrations by Sean Julian. While young readers are enjoying the antics of Kyle's jungle friends, they will learn an important lesson about helping others. This story will soon have adults as well as children asking, Where's YOUR smile, Crocodile?
The other animals' silly antics can't cheer up Kyle the crocodile, but when he helps Little Lion Cub find his way home, he finds his smile as well.
