My daughter (nearly 3) loves this book and I can see her enjoying it for years to come. Dandylion is a huge success with her too. Imagine they will be popular with both girls and boys. Beautiful illustrations and wonderful humour - grown ups won't be bored reading it to littlies.
Format:Paperback
I absolutely love "Dandylion" so couldn't wait to buy "Little Croc" and it does not disappoint! Again the story is uplifting and inspiring and the illustrations are just wonderful. It's a pleasure to have Lizzie's books on my shelf.

Review from Books That Heal Kids
31 Aug 2011
Format:Hardcover
This story reminded me of the word temptation. Kids (and adults) can be put in positions where they are tempted to make the wrong decision - because they might benefit. Long story short here.....Little Croc does the right thing but not without his friends pressuring him to keep the purse. In the end, he gets to keep the purse as his reward for being honest. The only thing I would change in this story is putting more focus on the internal rewards he received for doing the right thing. Sure, it's great he gets the purse - but that's not the TRUE reward. Make sure to go into this with your kids/students. Definitely glad this is on my bookshelf. There are not a ton of good picture books on stealing so I'm happy to see this one published.

Rutgers University Project on Economics and Children
6 Mar 2011
Format:Hardcover
Little Croc's game of hide-and-seek with his friends took on an unexpected twist when he found a purse filled with money. Although his friends all wanted to divide up the cash, Little Croc decided to do the right thing by bringing the lost purse to the police station. Many temptations for spending that money lay along the way, though. Would the purse and all the contents ever find their way to the rightful owner?
A lesson at the end of the story about saving, sharing, and spending money make the book a useful vehicle for talking with young children about some of the basic functions of money. Humorous illustrations help to liven up the story and encourage children to think about the scruples of finding lost valuables.
