Illustrated by
Andrew Joyner.
Mama Crocodile gushes over her new baby, which makes sister Caroline "very, very, very jealous." So she swaps her brother at the Baby Shop. Except the baby panda is fussy, the elephant "too squirty," and so on--good thing a "secondhand crocodile" is still available. The funny new-sibling story's vintage-feeling illustrations depict a town teeming with animals going about their busy day.
