Anyone who has ever had a birthday party as a child will be swept back to the excitement, the fears and the adventure of their first parties through the eyes of Lyle the Crocodile. Endearing and touching, any child (or adult) will lose themselves in this book. I write from memory-my mother read the Lyle books to me when I was four years old and they have stayed alive for me ever since. My sisters and myself are now buying them for our families.
Using my 6 year old grandson as the critic (all Lyle books ave been read by him) & I am choosing the ones he was most enthused about. This Lyle story explores the feelings of jealousy ..that all young children may experience & be conflicted with It also recounts the guilt & the way Lyle overcomes these feelings by doing positive acts for others.Wonderfully told in a non school marmish way!
I fell in love with Lyle when I was a kid, and this one and "Lyle, Lyle Crocodile" are still my favorites. I was so happy to find these books again! I hope "The House on East 88th Street" will be available on DVD one day very soon. I highly recommend these feel-good stories for any child or nostalgic adult.
In my view Bernard Waber is an absolute genius and his Lyle series of books are some of the best kids stories around.This one is no exception.The story is simple.Joshua is having a birthday party.Who is Joshua? He's the son of Mr. and Mrs. Primm, who live in a house on East 88th Street in New York. So does Lyle, a crocodile who the Primms found living there when they moved in, and adopted as their own.Lyle, a member in full standing of the Primm family, is seamlessly integrated in the life of the Upper East Side, notwithstanding the fact that he's a large green croc. Much of the interest of the series follows from the juxtaposition of the uncanny with the mundane; a full grown crocodile at large on the streets of the city, fully functional in the midst of day to day life. The possibilities for madcap interactions are endless...Anyway, in Lyle and the Birthday Party, our reptilian protagonist becomes jealous of Joshua and lapses into uncharacteristically churlish behavior as a result. After this fall, the story deals with repentance, reparation, forgiveness, and reconciliation.Apart from a lot of fun, these are important themes, presented in a way that will resonate with kids (and their parents too).Most amazing, as always, is the quality of the accompanying illustrations. The range of emotion with which Waber animates the visage of the incongruous crocodile is simply astonishing.Highly recommended.
Really it is the very first time Lyle got jealous. But he is not for long. Due to making other people happy. After not getting gifts like his buddy and adopted brother Joshua did. The Primms thought he was just sick. But he was just jealous all along. You can't keep a good croc down.
Purchased the book for my daughter's 6th birthday! and in typical Waber fashion, another Lyle tale is spun to delight children of all ages!
My granddaughter was so excited to get the bookFor her birthday. The Lyle books are very good stories. The seller did a good job.
