Happy birthday, Little Crocodile.

This newest book in the series begs to be read aloud, and adults shouldn’t be surprised when young listeners chime in on the oft-repeated sounds accompanying each party activity. Preparations for Little Crocodile’s birthday begin early with a bubble bath: “GLUB GLUB.” Little Crocodile’s parents make paper chain decorations with scissors that go “SNIP” and a stapler that goes “CLICK.” After Little Crocodile’s animal friends arrive, the air pump goes “PFF PFF PFF PFF” as it blows up balloons, but when one balloon escapes and pops, both Little Crocodile and a guest cry. Luckily, there are more balloons to share and plenty of activities still to come. The final curtain on a puppet show marks the end of a great party. Each page contains one or two short sentences, perfect for the youngest listeners; adults should allow plenty of time for audience participation. The colored pencil and chalk pastel illustrations have a neutral background but also contain pops of colorful details and plenty of movement to make each page turn a delight. Little ones will learn what to expect at a birthday party, including blowing out candles and posing for lots of pictures. Gift-giving is only a minor part of this story, which emphasizes old-fashioned fun and games and party manners, such as saying thank you.
