Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

All alone, in a quiet part of the jungle, Little Croc hatches. He may be small, but he has a big voice and loves to sing. But the other animals don't like his snap-snap song and send him away. As time passes, he becomes a big croc, and his song gets better and louder. But lonely, he asks some birds to teach him their song, so the other animals might be his friends. All goes well until he gets carried away, snap-snaps in the middle of the song and is sent away. As he sings sadly to himself by the river, his song attracts an unexpected crowd of admirers. Soon Croc is no longer on his own and has new friends to sing with."Casella's expressive pictures dance appealingly all around the page, as does Croc's jazz-infused song, set in a faux hand-lettered typeface." --Kirkus Reviews (U.S.)"this book is fun to read aloud because it is full of sounds (Tweet Baby Tweet Snap Snap Doo Wop Pow Tweet Snap). It's simple, cute and playful." --Reading Time (Australia)"A neatly resolved tale of acceptance and finding your place, this book with its striking cut out illustrations will entice eager readers to try the techniques for themselves, with paper, scissors, paint and sponges." --ReadPlus (U.K.)
