Reviews / Votes
"Author and sometime Arctic explorer Lewis-Jones shows a silly side in penning a perfect parody of the Yuletide favorite focusing on a greedy croc.Sanders' stylized illustrations of a bright green croc on equally bright backgrounds inhaling yummies served by a multiracial troop of zookeepers and patrons are a deliciously eye-catching match.
A cumulative singalong fit for hungry crowds (and crocs)"
Kirkus review, 2021 'This book's silliness had our little bookworms in stitches, as it reimagines the famous Twelve Day of Christmas song.' * The Independent * 'A hilarious sing-a-long counting book.' * SLOAN! Magazine *
