What Time Is It, Mr. Crocodile?

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the rigidity of a schedule or needs a playful way to practice telling time. It is a fantastic choice for kids who get frustrated when things do not go according to plan, offering a humorous look at how flexibility can lead to unexpected joy. The story follows Mr. Crocodile, who starts his day with a very specific, somewhat devious agenda: catching monkeys. However, as the clock ticks by, his plans are constantly thwarted by the playful primates, leading him to a change of heart. Through bouncy rhyme and vibrant illustrations, children learn that friendship is more fulfilling than holding onto a grudge or a 'to-do' list. It is an ideal read for preschoolers and early elementary students (ages 3 to 7) who are beginning to understand the concept of time and social navigation. Parents will appreciate how it models the 'pivot' from frustration to fun, showing that even a grumpy crocodile can find happiness in a picnic over a hunt.
