David Greenberg's 'Crocs!' is a wonderfully silly and imaginative rhyming chapter book that turns the typical fear of crocodiles on its head. A boy's peaceful tropical getaway is interrupted when a multitude of crocs, far from being scary, decide to move in, transforming his house into a swampy, chaotic, yet affectionate home. The story is filled with laugh-out-loud moments as the crocs engage in bizarre antics, like drinking Tabasco and getting tangled in dental floss. It culminates in a surprising twist where the boy is crowned their king. This book is perfect for children aged 4-11, offering pure entertainment and a gentle way to explore the idea that things aren't always as scary as they seem.
