Product Description
Review
"Read-alouds with this book are going to be loud, so get ready."--"Booklist" "Short, sweet, and tailor-made for story time, this perfectly paced tale of jungle mischief introduces a toddlerlike crocodile, Solomon, whose definition of "fun" is what other animals would probably label '"annoying.'" --"Publishers Weekly", Starred "The juxtaposition of a roaring hippo with an extremely startled Solomon is priceless." --"School Library Journal" "Let Solomon Crocodile loose during a story hour and get ready to roar." --"Horn Book Magazine" "Light and entertaining fun." --"Kirkus Reviews"
Book Description
Poor Solomon is looking for some fun but no one wants to play. The dragonflies tell him to buzz off, the storks get in a flap, and the hippo? Well, the less said about the hippo, the better! But then somebody else starts causing trouble . . . and for once it is NOT Solomon. Could it be the perfect pal for a lonely crocodile? A snappy, happy, stunning new book from the award-winning Catherine Rayner.

My Little boy (aged 2) LOVES this book. It has lovely pictures and you have the chance to make the characters come alive when reading it. A must for every kids bookshelf. :)

Solomon wants to play, but instead he ends up annoying the other animals. Solomon is sad. But then he starts to hear the other animals shouting, and this time it isn't at him. Has Solomon found the perfect friend? And what will the other animals think of that?
This is a truly lovely picture book; the pictures are very simple but tell the story so well. The story is also very simple, told in very short sentences. This makes it perfect for very young children, yet I had a class full of 12 year olds entranced when this was read to them. The fact that Solomon causes trouble and doesn't make any apologies for it is very appealing to children of all ages. This doesn't have a moral message in the same way that some books aimed at children do, but it doesn't suffer for that and in some ways this approach is quite refreshing.
Verdict: Simple and attractive kids of all ages will love it.

child saying "go away all the time"
The plot centres around animals telling Soloman to "go away." The story is fine but an unintended consequence is that my boy now shouts go away all the time and it is quite horrid... Read more

Smiley Crocodile
He's just so beautifully funny. The details are fascinating and draw you in to Solomon's world. Quality illustrations you can stare at again and again.
