Croco
by Azul López & translated by Kit Maude
🏆 2026 Mildred L. Batchelder Award for outstanding children’s book translated into English
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 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 little Croco is stuck in. A delightful picture book.
