Read the full description
Animals are in danger-help, kind crocodile! Here comes a terrified mouse, a frightened hog, an antelope. One by one they find shelter on Crocodile's long back, while his big teeth scare their enemies away. GRRR!
In a fun game of chase, the kind crocodile gives shelter to one animal after another on his long green back, scaring away their pursuers-until the load becomes too heavy and the crocodile doesn't feel so kind anymore, and turns on his friends. GRRRR!
But not for long: "Just kidding!" says Crocodile.
"Not kind!" say the friends. Kind Crocodile is a board book to enjoy again and again, with a lively game of chase and a message about teamwork at its heart. A larger format sturdy board book perfect for reading with toddlers and preschoolers who can join in with the fun repetition.
