My Baby Crocodile

(4) K-3 Translated by Sarah Klinger. A crocodile cares for what he thinks is an abandoned baby croc. When he realizes the baby is actually a young child in armor, fear takes hold and the two part ways, despite their fondness for each other. This quirky book is not without charm, but the bittersweet message may not resonate with a picture-book audience. The detailed crosshatch illustrations, however, will.
