Inspired by an obscure 19th-century French satire, I, Crocodile is Fred Marcellino's first hilarious effort at both writing and illustrating a picture book. His previous illustrations for children's books, including Puss in Boots, have garnered numerous awards, among them the Caldecott Honor and an ALA Notable Children's Book award. Marcellino's witty pictures and text, portraying Napoleon as a prima donna potentate and the crocodile as a not-so-innocent victim, have a sly sense of humor that will keep historians and young readers rolling in the aisles. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

Media: water color
Age Appropriateness: Primary
Plot: person(animal) against society
Characterization: The crocodile is a flat and static character. He has one goal in life, to eat. Amidst everything that happens to him the only thing he can think of is to eat and what to eat. We know nothing about him except that he likes to eat and he does not change throughout the book.
Review: This is a good book of Fantasy because Crocodiles do not talk. However, the historical aspect of the story, with Napoleon, makes it very believalbe. (
