(2) K-3 It's Croc's birthday, and Melrose has a special gift in mind--fresh fish for breakfast at their villa. He rows out to sea and is caught in a storm. Worried Croc marshals the authorities and gets in on the dramatic rescue. The story has an understated, quiet, old-timey quality. Clark's watercolors are homey and detailed, with lots of changeable sea green.
