false 372638 10 Lyle the crocodile lives in a house on East 88th Street in New York City. He likes it there, and his hosts, the Primms, like having him around--he helps young Joshua with his homework, jumps-rope with the neighborhood kids, and browses through antique shops with Mrs. Primm. Much to the affable reptile's dismay, however, he makes his neighbor's cat Loretta crazy, which in turn makes Mr. Grumps, Loretta's owner, even crazier. One day, Mrs. Primm and Lyle are shopping, when Lyle--through no real fault of his own--ends up infuriating department-store bigwig Mr. Grumps who turns red and blue and purple with rage. This unfortunate eruption lands the rollicking reptile in the Central Park zoo where Lyle fights back his crocodile tears. In an elaborate sequence of events, Lyle finds himself back with the Primms on East 88th Street, a neighborhood hero, and, startlingly, even a friend of the mistrustful cat Loretta. Bernard Waber--creator of <I>The House on East 88th Street</I>--charms young readers again with this endearing, whimsical 1965 classic, perfectly complemented by his simple, sketchy, comical illustrations. <I>(Ages 4 to 8)</I> 3080688 1965 Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile (Lyle the Crocodile) total:344|5:103|4:117|3:101|2:20|1:3| 344 1329 408 22 4 0 false false Tue Aug 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 17:51:24 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 17:51:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Aug 17 02:18:48 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 11:25:02 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 02:18:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Jan 19 20:29:49 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 20:29:49 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 22 12:57:38 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 14:15:40 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 19 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 19:41:32 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 19:59:29 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Feb 03 17:17:45 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 16:38:13 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Dec 01 10:10:32 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 10:12:31 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Sep 04 04:03:36 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 00:50:35 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun May 10 18:25:46 -0700 2009 Sun May 10 18:26:27 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Aug 03 17:16:13 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 17:16:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 14 19:11:37 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 14 19:19:19 -0700 2008
