Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Crocodile has a big imagination. But he has a big problem too.
He's always thinking up fun, new things to do like sliding through mud puddles, sunbathing by the shore, or floating downstream stretched out on a log. But no matter what he does, all the other crocs follow him and copy him--every time! Crocodile finally manages to escape his fellow crocs, only to discover a surprising truth: being by himself is not nearly as much fun as being with his friends.
David Bedford has created an appealing character wrestling with a situation that will resonate with children. Artist Emily Bolam's bold, expressive illustrations bring out the fun and humor of the story.
Annoyed when the other crocodiles crowd and copy him, a young croc goes off by himself, only to find that he sometimes enjoys the company around him. Crocodile is always thinking up fun, new things to do. But no matter what he does, all the other crocs follow him and copy him-every time! Crocodile finally manages to escape his fellow crocs, only to discover a surprising truth: being by himself is not nearly as much fun as being with his friends.
