In my quest to help my sweet boy become a little more well-rounded, I grabbed this book during a library visit. When we read it one night, James loved it! Which made me so so very happy. It's a cute little story about a crocodile who wakes up in a bad mood. He sets out to find his smile...in the end he finds it when he is helping someone else. How's that for a nice sweet story with a good message?
The writing teacher in noticed the fantastic vocabulary. You could totally use this when teaching word choice. The author used a great variety of words for walking: crawled, plodded, clomped. I loved how vivid her choice of words were.
So this book could be used for all sorts of ages depending on the purpose. I highly recommend it.
James' age: 4
You have reminded me that I need to start checking books out from the library. I always forget that is an option and just keep buying more books! :)
