Bookroo's summary
On a hot summer day, a young boy embarks on a whimsical hunt for a mysterious crocodile in the lake. As he follows the shadowy figure, he finds himself on an exhilarating ride atop the grinning creature. But when they emerge from the water, the crocodile reveals its true identity—his own father. This playful adventure captures the magic of imagination and the special bond between father and son, leaving readers to wonder about the surprises that await in their own backyard.
From the publisher
Celebrate the imagination–and the love between father and son–with this paperback edition of Kim Norman’s fun, rhyming, and totally original tale. On a hot summer’s day, a young boy playfully sets out on a “crocodaddy hunt” in the lake. Following the creature’s shadow, dark and wet, he’s soon taking a wild ride on the grinning croc’s back. And when they leave the water, something wonderful happens: Crocodaddy transforms into . . . just DADDY. Bright, energetic illustrations (complete with wily crocodile in Dad’s swim trunks) fully capture the story’s humor and warmth.
