Bedford, David, ill.
By Tom Jellett, Two Tough Crocs. pgs.
30. Holiday House, 2013. $16.95. PICTURE BOOK.
Sylvester and Arnold are two tough crocs who like to bully
other creatures by the swamp. Until one day, the not only meet, but a meaner,
bigger, tougher croc named Betty the Bad throws them into the deepest, slimiest
swamp hole. She claims the swamp is hers now, but will the two tough crocs be
able to team up and take back their swamp? Will the three become friends?
The illustrations are unique, colorful, and engaging. The
text is repeating and simple enough for younger kids who like repeating picture
books. Together, the two complement each other and make a fun read aloud for
parents and teachers alike to share with their children about bullying and
friends. PreK, EL (K-3). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian,
WHI Public Library.
