Party Croc!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Derek Sullivan. In this retelling of a Shona folktale from Zimbabwe, Zuva learns never to make a promise she can't keep after inviting a boisterous crocodile to a party in exchange for a favor. Zany, slick digital illustrations picture a fluorescent jungle setting for the cautionary tale. Multicolored font emphasizes the crocodile's refrain: "Party! Party! Going to a party / Party! Party! I'm a PARTY CROC!"
