Knock! Knock! Mr Croc

Knock! Knock! Mr Croc follows in the successful footsteps of Lucy Cousins’ Maisy the Mouse titles. Based upon a similar idea to the children’s game ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?’ Lodge utilises bold colours, clear and minimal text, and interactive pop-up illustrations which will appeal to children across a wide span of ages. Children from 12 months to 5 years will find something in this delightful book.

This nicely sized book is constructed from very sturdy card meaning that the pop-up images will withstand the numerous readings that this book will inevitably receive. Clear, repetitive text acts as a useful reading tool for older pre-school children. Each of the situations is introduced with a clock; this encourages children to associate the stated time eg. 8’o’clock or 10’o’clock, with the position of the hands on the clock face.

A beautifully designed and well constructed book. Knock! Knock! Mr Croc will amuse and delight children over and over again.
