Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Fossil loves peace and quiet, and as much as he loves his friends too, sometimes they can be a bother. What happens when the noisy bunch comes by to play at nap time? Are crocodiles as fierce as they say? The Quiet Crocodile is an entertaining story with a surprising end that will engage both parents and children time and again. The lovingly drawn, charming illustrations are full of thoughtful details that offer something new with each reading. An added bonus are clever color dots that appear alongside the text for each new animal entering the story, introducing children to the concept of symbols and encouraging them to name colors as they count Fossil's many friends.
Originally published in France by Hélium in 2014 under title: Tranquille comme Fossile.
Worried that his reptilian ferocity will scare his friends, Fossil the crocodile prefers peace and quiet and being alone, but his friends insist that Fossil play with them anyway.
