The Crocodile and the Scorpion

32 pp. | Roaring Brook/Porter | October, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-494-3 $17.99
(4) K-3 A scorpion convinces a crocodile to give him a ride across the river, and, because it's his nature, stings him halfway across. The crocodile bites back, and the two continue to fight as they sink to the river bottom, where "you can hear them arguing still." Electric blues and greens predominate in a muddled retelling of an often-modified fable.
Reviewer: Kathleen T. Horning
