My Crocodile Does Not Bite

My Crocodile Does Not Bite by Joe Kulka is a terrific picture book about a boy named Emmett who decides to bring his pet crocodile to school for the pet show.  Cindy Lu however, is not happy about this and complains to anyone that will listen that Emmet should not be allowed to bring his crocodile to school.

This is a terrific picture book that kids will love.  It's funny and silly and has a great surprise ending.  I can picture first and second graders giggling through out the story.  My only problem with the book is the illustrations.  They're not the best and if they'd been better it would have made this good book terrific.

Appropriateness:  This book has an ending that small children could find disturbing (and older ones will find funny).  I recommend this book to readers 5-9.
