Media Reviews

Read-alouds with this book are going to be loud, so get ready. -- Booklist Short, sweet, and tailor-made for story time, this perfectly paced tale of jungle mischief introduces a toddlerlike crocodile, Solomon, whose definition of fun is what other animals would probably label ' annoying.' -- Publishers Weekly , Starred The juxtaposition of a roaring hippo with an extremely startled Solomon is priceless. -- School Library Journal Let Solomon Crocodile loose during a story hour and get ready to roar. -- Horn Book Magazine Light and entertaining fun. -- Kirkus Reviews
