In this wacky, fact-packed addition to the Truth About series, straightforward informational prose provides a crash course on crocodile types, diet, reproduction, habitat, and more. The cartoonlike pen-and-ink illustrations tell their own story. Crocs and other creatures--including a party hat–wearing kid--are shown with speech bubbles in silly fictionalized scenarios, often cracking jokes about the factual content as they plan a birthday party for the child and newly hatched baby crocodiles. Reading list.
