Bookroo's summary

Lyle the crocodile feels left out as Joshua's birthday approaches, leading to unexpected antics. Mrs. Primm worries about Lyle's unusual behavior, mistaking his jealousy for illness. Can Lyle overcome his envy and join the festivities, or will his green-eyed monster ruin the day? Discover the heartwarming resolution in this charming tale of friendship and understanding.

From the publisher

Mrs. Primm fears Lyle the crocodile is terribly sick, when in reality he’s just “green” over Joshua’s birthday party. “Sprightly text and nonsensical pictures.” – School Library Journal
