I have a weakness for naughty crocodiles, so I loved this one about a crocodile that sets the narrator off track.

I'm not sure how I feel about a tutu and bow being used as an insult / device to make the male crocodile less scary...

"The Ugly Duckling" is interrupted by a crocodile - "a really big scary one!" - and it's up to the reader to get it out. Funny and interactive, good for storytime.

Summary: The narrator begins to tell the story of The Ugly Duckling when he sees something that doesn't look quite right: a crocodile in the corner of the page! The author instructs the reader to turn through the pages carefully and guides the reader through activities that will help the crocodile go leave the story.
