review 1: A fun book for pre -schoolers, especially those apt to wriggle away from your lap when faced with too many words to listen to. A crocodile finds his was into a book that was meant to be a gentle fairy tale and starts chomping away at the words, making holes in the pages and causing general mayhem! The reader is invited the tip the book and shake it about in order to get rid of him. I liked this book but felt it had more novelty value than staying power as a story that would be enjoyed again and again. It is great fun, though!
review 2: There are picture books out there where a character in the story hijacks the tale and chaos ensues(think "Z is for Moose" by Bingham) or the actual physicality of the book becomes part of the story like David Weisner's "The Thre... moree Pigs". Sometimes these devices work, as in the above mentioned stories but lately I've been reading some that just feel forced. "Open very Carefully: A book with bite" has an unruly character that takes over AND the actual physical book is used as a plot device. When a telling of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling" gets rudely interrupted by the appearance of a crocodile, chaos does indeed ensue and it is a delight. The illustrations of the crocodile are FANTASTIC and I think kids will really like how interactive the book is. My only complaint is that the ending is abrupt and hence 4 stars not 5. less
