Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile

Requested from the library after seeing the movie, which is better, imo, than the book. Cute story but I am unimpressed by the artwork.

This week the Literature & Enrichment choice for Memoria Press is Lyle, Lyle, the Crocodile. A vintage picture book choice. We are reading ours from the Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile Storybook Treasury. It seems there is a back story in there that we will need to go back and read.

While I don't love the illustrations, I truly enjoy reading about Lyle. It reminds me of Syd Hoff, Amelia Bedelia, and in circumstance Paddington and Babar. All classics and vintage books that make me want to snuggle up with the Littles.

Lyle's story is a good one to read talking about character and friendships. Lyle has different types of friends from varying avenues of his life, just as we all will.
