The Good Ship Crocodile

32 pp. | Creative Editions | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56846-238-7 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Monique Felix. When the river rises during the "wet, rainy season," crocodile Snout (the "Good Ship Crocodile") ferries fireflies, frogs, a hedgehog, and other creatures across; likewise, the fireflies guide him home when he becomes lost. It's a quiet, peaceful story, and the oversize, dramatic double-page-spread illustrations stand out. Unfortunately, awkward text placement near the gutter detracts from the overall book design.
