review 1: The boy begins to enter the pond with his dad for a swim. When he enters he begins to repeat "crocodaddy" as he looks for the "crocodile." In the illustations the crocodile is swimming in yellow swim trucks and is playing with the boy. At the end of the story, the reader realizes that "crocodaddy" is really his dad who was playing with his son while acting like a crocodile. Rhyme and Repition is found in the story.
review 2: This is such a charming story and perfect for younger children. Dads will love it too because it's a wonderful celebration of the father-son relationship. The story is rhythmic and lyrical and the illustrations are lush and magical. The best part [SPOILER ALERT:] is that the revelation that daddy is the crocodile is subtle and makes it g... morereat fun when the child figures it out! Really a brilliant piece! less

Great rhythm and rhyme! This would be fun book for a theme or Alligators and Crocodiles or Dads!

Cute rhyming story. Would work for younger (1 1/2 yrs maybe and up). My 3 1/2 yr old liked it.

I guess I should have read this book with a little boy. By myself, underwhelmed.

Crocodaddy is a fun book to read to a class when teaching rhyming.

Cute, I guess, but it didn't do much for me...
