Crocodile Capers
Crocodile Party
Susanna Gretz knows exactly how to depict the insecurities, jealousies, anxieties and even the downright contrariness of young children. Put these behaviours into the amusing context of a crocodile family, then hold up the mirror and you have books that allow children to explore the darker side of their emotions in a safe situation. That children want to, and need to, is proved by the near tatty condition of books which were pristine only a few weeks ago!
