About This Book
Reach for this book when your family is navigating the chaotic arrival of a new member, whether a pet, a sibling, or just a very rowdy guest. It is a perfect choice for teaching children how to find empathy for those who seem 'too much' or dont quite fit into the traditional holiday mold. The story follows the hilarious and destructive antics of a hungry crocodile who accidentally ends up with a proper family for Christmas. While the crocodile eats the roast, the tree, and the presents, the heart of the story lies in how the family responds to his behavior. It addresses the balance between setting boundaries and showing unconditional kindness. It is a lighthearted way to discuss how we can love someone even when they are being difficult, making it a seasonal favorite for children ages 4 to 8 who appreciate slapstick humor and a warm, inclusive resolution.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and lighthearted. The 'threats' to the crocodile (sending him away) are treated as comedic options rather than true peril. It is a metaphorical look at handling disruptive behavior with grace.
