Croco

by Azul López & translated by Kit Maude

This is a lovely book by a talented Mexican artist who vividly brings the jungle to life. Croco has fallen into a pit, too deep to crawl out of. Friendly animals offer advice, but none of it works for a little crocodile. How can Croco get himself out? The illustrations and creative format really make young readers feel how tall the jungle is and how deep a hole Croco is stuck in. A delightful picture book.
