Synopses & Reviews
The animals watch in amazement as Crocodile demonstrates how he is the best animal of all. He can climb better than Mountain Goat, he can hop higher than Kangaroo. He can even swing through the trees better that an orangutan. But Donkey knows of something that Crocodile can't do and sets out to prove that donkeys are best after all. Created in consultation with literacy specialist, Prue Goodwin, this edition contains the complete story, redesigned to help support children who are gaining confidence in reading.
Review
"Lots of rhyme and aliteration tempt young children to have fun reading this book . . . It's a cautionary tale which usefully shows that it is wrong to boast but also that it's okay to be proud of what you can do. The bold expressive illustrations make the point perfectly."and#160;and#8212;
Carousel"Rhyming text and humourous pictures make for great amusement and a terrific readaloud."and#160;and#8212; School Librarian
