Illustrated by
Scott Nash.
On a hot, sunny day, four crocodiles decide to cool down at the beach. But they get sidetracked when they discover a park playground, get lost, stop for a picnic lunch, then take naps. They finally reach the beach at nighttime for a moonlight swim. Lakin's fast-paced and spare text is enlivened by Nash's gleefully expressive illustrations.
