About This Book
A perfect book for a child starting to ask what grown-ups 'do all day,' especially when the answer feels abstract or hard to explain. This witty, wordless story follows a very dapper crocodile through his morning routine: waking up, brushing his pointy teeth, choosing a tie, and commuting on a crowded train. The entire book builds a delightful mystery about his profession, with a surprising and funny reveal at the end. It sparks curiosity and celebrates the idea that work can be unexpected. The detailed illustrations invite children to narrate the story themselves, making it a wonderful shared experience for pre-readers and early readers alike.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is gentle and humorous. The concept of a zoo is presented as a place of work where the crocodile is a willing and proud professional. The approach is entirely metaphorical and whimsical, not a realistic depiction of animal captivity. It is secular and the resolution is cheerful and satisfying.
Ideal Reader
A curious 4 to 6-year-old who loves detailed pictures and is beginning to wonder about the world of work. It is perfect for pre-readers or emergent readers who can be empowered to narrate the story themselves, and for children who enjoy clever, visual humor and surprising endings.
