We have 2 boys, and we own over 200 children's books. This book is one of the 3 best if not THE best book on our shelves. The words, the cadence, the story, and the illustrations are very clever. We like this book so much we often give it to our friends' children as a birthday gift.
As a mother of a 3 year old daughter and an early childhood educator, this is probably my most favorite book available.The story revolves around a monkey who spies a banana tree on an island across the way and tricks the crocodiles into making a bridge for him to go over and retrieve some bananas. Each page is very colorfully illustrated and is told in a very catchy poetic form. Through the story you count crocodiles from one to ten and back again. The book is short but puts a smile on your face all the way through.This story is excellent for teaching values, sequence in stories and in counting, and is a great introduction to crocodiles. A huge fan of The Crocodile Hunter, my daughter finds this story entertaining, and is one of the only stories she asks me to read over and over. It's nice because this is one of the only stories I like reading over and over!
My two year-old is endlessly fascinated by this book, it's story and it's illustrations! She can't get enough of the fanciful crocodiles with their "mohawks", or "chicken pox", and delights in the wonderful rhythm that Sierra uses to write her tale. It doesn't matter that the book doesn't tell us how many crocs there are...you can have fun counting them all together!
This was an instant hit with my 2 and 1/2 year old nephew. He loved the "eyes" in the water in the illustrations at first reading of the book. Then he pointed out more and more things on each page that he noticed as it was read. Wonderful illustrations on each page. And I loved the message of outwitting the crocodiles! Very neat book.
We LOVE this book! We have read it over and over again. My daughter (age 4) can't get enough of it. I read it to my niece and now she has her own copy and asks to have it read nearly every day. We bought a copy for our preschool teacher and she reads it to her classes. The rhymes are fun for the kids to hear (and the reader to read!) and there are never ending surprises in the illustrations. We've been reading this book for a year now and it isn't old yet!
When we borrowed this from the library, we read it several times per day, and my kids were begging to keep it when it was time to return it. Now we have to buy a copy for ourselves, plus one for a gift. The rhymes are better than clever--maybe even brilliant! With the catchy rhythm, this was easily the most fun book I've ever read with my kids. My four-year-old daughter was soon reading it to her brother, with the help of the fantastic illustrations. All in all, a very fun book that will thrill young and old!Update:This is our go-to gift for young birthdays, baby showers, etc. My kids are now in 8th and 6th grade, and they still talk about how much they loved this book!
I just read this book to my first graders today. They enjoyed it very much. I like the fact that the children were counting the crocodiles and laughing a the funny ways the crocodiles were dressed. This is a wonderful counting book and it teaches a lesson at the end.
Counting Crockodiles is a great book. My 3 year old loves it. It is his favorite book. We read it EVERY night before bed. The pictures are colorful and the animals keep his attention. He likes that the words rhyme. He looks at it so much I am ready for another copy.
