APPEALS TO: SOME
When a Crocodile falls down a deep hole, the animal friends try to give advice on getting out, but a crocodile isn't like a snake, a bird, or monkeys, and their advice won't work.
Croco is an unusually sized book which is sure to get lost on the library shelf, however, that said, I can see the reasoning behind the format. The book is held sideways so that the pages appear to be looking at a cross section of a hole, allowing the reader to see in the hole as well as the animal friends in the trees and on the ground above. The story was clever, and didn't resolve as I anticipated, so that was fun. Originally published in Mexico.
