When Crocs Fly: A Pearls Before Swine Collection by Stephan Pastis is a wonderful collection for those familiar with the comic strip. Sadly, judging by other Goodreads reviews, comic strips are going out of vogue. Many expected a graphic novel of some sort (I guess the word "collection" in the title didn't clue them in) and some really just didn't grasp the characters at all (the crocs are after zebra, not rat and pig, and there is no adopting of characters by other characters, not sure what that reviewer was reading). Perhaps this will only be enjoyable for those familiar with the idea of a comic strip or with those familiar with the Pearls Before Swine strip in particular. Fortunately, I am familiar with both so I enjoyed it a lot. Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley. no reviews | add a review

When Crocs Fly is a collection of Pearls Before Swine comics which are aimed a younger public. I would only recommend it to people familiar with the comics prior to reading it.
Once again, follow the adventures of the many animals as they try to eat or prevent they get eaten.
It was decent. Some of it was quite funny, not laughing out loud though, but many things were also mwah. I'm not sure how much of this is the result of me growing up, because I do recall I really liked the comic some years ago. Maybe it means I'm getting old.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )
