Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot

The premise is one found in many children's board books—looking for mother. Crocodile is searching for hers and along the way, readers/listeners meet several other jungle residents—parrot, elephant, monkey and tiger. There is a tidbit of information about these animals, for example elephant has rough skin, monkey has a curly tail and tiger has stripes. Also this little book is set up so that a clue is provided as to who is hiding and then fully revealed when the page is turned. A step above the others in the "Clackers" series, it still does not make any significant noise, but it is interesting and ends on a happy note. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot
