Series: Lyle the Crocodile
Description: Everyone in the neighborhood loves Lyle the crocodile--except their cranky neighbor and his nervous cat, Loretta. When Mr. Grumps gets Lyle placed in a zoo, it seems there's no hope for Lyle, and he misses the Primms terribly. How can he make everything right and move back home?
Brief description:
Bernard Waber was the beloved author-illustrator of more than thirty picture books, including Courage, Ira Sleeps Over, and Do You See a Mouse? With the publication of The House on East 88th Street in 1962, his Lyle, Lyle Crocodile series of books became a mainstay of children's literature and was adapted for both stage and screen. A Literary Landmark plaque commemorating the adventures of this endearing New York City reptile can now be found on East 88th Street. bernardwaber.com.
Review Quotes:
"Lyle is as lovable as ever and the story and colored pictures as nonsensical." Booklist, ALA
