A little crocodile explores a day at the park in this colorful, noisy book filled with sounds and new experiences -- some wonderful, some not -- that are sure to delight toddlers.

What sounds does Little Crocodile hear on a trip to the park?
Grandma says "Sweet Pea!"
The pigeons go flap, flap
The dandelion goes pffff
The chatter goes chit chat
The merry-go-round goes wheee
And the crocodile says... WAHHHH!

In this charming book of sounds, Little Crocodile visits the park with Grandma and Grandpa and experiences being left out, kindness and independence, ultimately enjoying their day . . . after a small meltdown, of course! Little ones will delight in the adorable illustrations and fun read-aloud, and parents will delight in the sly humor and familiar emotional rollercoaster of a toddler's day.
EVA MONTANARI was born in Rimini, five minutes away from the sea. She has always loved reading and has been inventing her own stories for as long as she can remember. Using traditional techniques — pencil, chalk, oil and acrylics — she creates playful tableaux populated with endearing characters. Since 2000, her books have been published all over the world, and her work has been featured in many exhibitions such as the Bologna Children's Book Fair Illustrators' Exhibition, the Original Art Show at the New York Society of Illustrators, the Sarmede International Illustration exhibition, the Nami Island International Children's Book Festival and the Sharjah Book Fair.

"[E]nds on a satisfactory note as Little Crocodile embodies what he learned about thoughtfulness and sharing when making room for someone new." —Booklist

"With beautiful imagery and a quick pace, this book would make a popular interactive read-aloud, as young ones can mimic the sounds that little crocodile hears. . . The author is able to capture the child-like wonder in everyday experiences, even if the activity is one that happens all the time and might seem routine." —Young Adulting

"A crocodile's day is filled with sly humour, adorable illustrations, and an emotional rollercoaster that parents will recognize from their own experiences." —CityParent
