Crocodile is hungry. He tries visiting the usual places--farmers' market, grocery store, community garden--but has no luck finding anything to eat.
Thoughts: Such an unexpected book. The ending was definitely a surprise. I can't wait to try this book out in storytime. The illustrations are detailed and colorful. I love the expressions on all the faces, human and animal like. The color palette reminds me of the Sweet Pickles book series from the 1970s. Pair with Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise by Sean Taylor. You could also pair Crocodile Hungry with other picture books with hungry in the title like I'm Hungry! ¡Tengo Hambre! by Angela Dominguez, Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion by Alex T. Smith, Hungry Bunny by Claudia Rueda, and Ten Hungry Pigs by Derek Anderson.
