Crocodile Beat

My toddler was given this book as part of a state education program. He loves it very much, as we read it together in a loud, sing-song way, and he gets to make all the animal noises.

This book is an example of Fantasy, because the animals in the book are doing things that we know aren't possible in real life. For example, Lions don't talk, and bears don't clap and dance. The media used in the wonderful illustrations is ripped paper from all around the world. The story has a sing-songy feel, written with great rhythm. It would be fun for kids to relate to basic knowledge and primary ideas such as animal sounds. The crocodile in the story is the antagonist. He is wanting to eat, or snap at the other animals who are having fun. The lion saves the animals by putting his "throne" chair into the gator's mouth.

interactive book will keep children engaged by making animal sounds. The lion is the protector and trys to keep harmony amongst the other animals.
