The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water Board book – 11 Aug. 2016

This is a very sweet story about a little crocodile who didn't like water. Although he longs to play with his brothers and sisters, he didn't like swim club or jumping off the diving board. In fact, what he really enjoyed was climbing trees.... One day, the little crocodile discovers why he doesn't like swimming and realises he has other gifts to offer. This is a lovely story, with a great message for any children who may not enjoy the same activities as their friends - it is fine to be different. The illustrations are simply wonderful - we especially enjoyed hte poor little crocodile standing, tentatively, on the diving board. A wonderful read for children aged 2 - 4.

This is a sweet story of a mix up between a crocodile and a dragon. Much as a young crocodile tries - and fails - to enjoy being in the water with his siblings, it doesn't work. When he finally does get into the water, he sneezes and discovers that he can breath fire because he is not a crocodile after all he's a dragon and he was born to fly. I enjoyed this tale so much it made me cry. My five-year old loved it too and didn't fail to notice the final illustration of a mother dragon reading a book about a dragon who didn't like fire. The perfect , tailor-made opportunity for a sequel, surely? That would be another book by this author that I couldn't resist.

Bought this as a gift for a friend's daughter, and from what I hear she absolutely loves re-reading this book with her mum! A delightful story with lovely illustration, highly recommended for little readers.

Another favourite of the children which I've been reading to them for months. About a crocodile who doesn't like water and then discovers hes not a crocodile after all but a dragon. The story is not too long just bout right to keep your little ones attention.

What a great story! The kids in my class loved it!

My nephew loves this book and asks for it as his bedtime story regularly. He is showing an interest in learning to read - what could be better?!

Genius! One of the best kids books out there. The story is adorable - a crocodile who doesn't fit, and eventually discovers he's a dragon. went a bought a load for nephews and friends kids.I'd say its aimed at age 3-5 but my 6 year loves it too

Well nice and easy for little baby

Awesome

Ok

Funny

My 3-year old loves it- very cute story, very cute illustrations! We are hoping for a release of "the Dragon that didn't like Fire"..

Il libro è molto carino. Mia figlia lo adora. Peccato non ci sia la versione italiana....Spedizione impeccabile come al solito. In costa meno, come tutti i libri per l'infanzia, d'altronde

Pour les francophones, avec un anglais moyen qui veulent raconter des histoires en anglais, cette histoire est adaptée. L'anglais utilisé n'est pas trop soutenu. C'est facile à comprendre, de mon point de vue. Et c'est relativement court. L'histoire est drôle avec une révélation de ouf guedin à la fin. Mais no spoil !

libro molto molto carino sia per il tema che la formula inglese.piaciuto molto alle bambine, lo consiglio davvero molto

Great story and artwork.

Excellent livre qui explique la différence aux enfants et qui met en avant leur point fort!

That is the question my two- year old asked me every night. She was totally engaged in the book! My 4 - year old was engrossed in the simple but beautiful and expressive artwork and managed to calm herself to listen to the entire story (an amazing feat as parents with 4 year olds will tell you).My only complaint is that the book is actually a bit too short. It was just too much fun....Also let's face it he was totally faking it WE KNOW YOU CAN SWIM MR....er...er...crorodile!

A clever retelling of the Ugly Duckling story. Our protagonist does not run away and hide until he's beautiful and accepted like the aforementioned UD. But rather, he discovered what makes him unique and special while playing with his brothers and sisters. And, they accept him and have fun with him once that transformation occurs. A positive message from a clever book.

It is just sample and so meaningful!Children should read it first by themselves and parent can explain the message behind this wonderful story the child may not quit get it at first.

I haven't read this one just yet. I purchased through my coworkers advice that it's a fabulous book with many options in extending a lesson, integrating some additional compprehension skills!!!!

What an adorable story!

Excellent support pour l'anglais. L'histoire et les illustrations ont beaucoup plu à mes élèves de CP.
