Illustrated by
Scott Nash.
Despite the rain, crocodiles Sam, Pam, Will, and Jill go outside to play. But when mini-golf and baseball prove challenging, a friendly dog takes them to the perfect place for a rainy day: the library. The bright, bold illustrations and black type combine for a clean design. The text, with its fractured rhythm, is as much a celebration of words as it is a cohesive story.
