Imagining a mother crocodile in her habitat, the book uses evocative language to capture several days in the life of a croc. That said it has a very feminine perspective, ie. the croc is a mom and it is protecting its eggs and when it jumps to eat the heron, the action is captured just before there is blood. Just did not connect as well to my son, he did not ask for it a second time.
One of the better non-anthropomorphic books about animals I've read. Still not much of a story.
Informational book about crocodiles. E597.98 wal
Gorgeous and realistic illustrations, I didn't realize crocodiles and swamps could be so beautiful. Very informative, but simple enough for young readers, especially boys. Mine have enjoyed it.
I have to say this book is beautifully written and illustrated, but my kids just didn't enjoy it as much as some of the others.
