The Crocodile Blues by Coleman Polhemus What is WITH all the crocodile books this year? Daffodil, Crocodile. Guji Guji. Alligator Boy. I'd Really Like to Eat a Child. I, Crocodile. Love 'em! This one, nearly wordless and done in 3 colors, is a graphic illustration dream - its nocturnal shenanigans are rendered in a style that is minimalist yet expressive, surreal and yet perfectly understandable. Plus there's a cockatoo!

Pink me?
I work in a public library; I handle the majority of the materials selection for two K-8 school libraries; and I have two kids of my own. I also have a REAL short attention span, so my pleasure reading is mostly juvenile and young adult books as well.
So when you're looking for a good book for a kid, come on over here and I'll pink you.
Hey: This blog discusses children's literature in adult terms. It is not a blog for kids.
