Bookroo's summary
Lyle, the beloved crocodile, leaves his cozy life with the Primms to embark on a quest for his long-lost mother. Enticed by Hector P. Valenti's promises, Lyle wonders if his real mother could be as perfect as Mrs. Primm. As he navigates this journey, Lyle discovers the true meaning of family, whether biological or found. Will he find the answers he seeks, or realize that home was always where his heart is? This charming tale explores the bonds that define us and the adventures that lead us back to love.
From the publisher
Lyle leaves his happy home with the Primms on East 88th Street to search for his mother, at the urging of his former employer, Hector P. Valenti, star of stage and screen. “Whimsically told and illustrated in the style of the previous Lyle books, it’s a lot of fun to read aloud.” – School Library Journal, starred review
