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
Bernard Waber was the beloved author/illustrator of more than thirty picture books, including Courage, Ira Sleeps Over, and Do You See a Mouse? With the publication of The House on East 88th Street in 1962, his Lyle, Lyle Crocodile series of books became a mainstay of children’s literature. A Literary Landmark plaque commemorating the adventures of this endearing New York City reptile can now be found on East 88th Street and Bernard Waber’s artwork is the subject of a traveling retrospective exhibit, curated by the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art.
