(3) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Doug Cushman. Crocodile wants to eat Hen, but the unflappable bird puts him off by calling him "brother." Crocodile seeks advice and finds out that chickens and crocodiles both lay eggs, making them brother and sister of sorts. This new edition of the story, with simple vocabulary and repetition, is enhanced by new high-personality, humorous cartoons.
