I think this book is basically a thinly-disguised look at racism, and it can be used as a good springboard for discussion with younger children about acceptance and tolerance. Just because Lyle is an alligator, it doesn't mean you should hate him, little girl, even if your dad is some type of allig-racist!

Lyle is wonderful! He can even reach the heart of a hateful child! I wish we had Lyle in this day and age! What a world we would have!

Very cute, but long enough that my 5yo got tired of it and wanted to read something else.

Lyle is just so lovable.
Unfortunately... not everybody thinks so. Some people are irrationally prejudiced against the idea of living with a crocodile, imagine! He's been getting hate mail. (Oh dear.)
Luckily, his charm and heroism save the day (again) and he wins over everybody.
This one is a bit wordy - save it for the older end of the 4-8 crowd.

Lyle gets anonymous hate mail that turns out to be from a little girl who feels he's stolen her friends. But of course everything turns out all right in the end.
This was a good story, but maybe a bit mature for my four-year-old, who doesn't yet know the meaning of enemy or hate.

This book has the best character names. The two leads are name Lyle and Clover Sue Hipple. I also like the artwork in this book; very graphic. I think it would make great T-shirt artwork. Story's OK but not good enough to entice me to keep the book.

Would be good for teaching about the dangers of prejudice or judging a book by its cover.

Lyle is lovable, don't try to resist him. Everyone wants her own Lyle.
