      About This Book

      "Hand-crafted paper gives the book's brightly colored, childlike paintings an appealing texture..."--Publishers Weekly. Warm earth tones prevail in the illustrations, successfully conveying a hazy aridness to a fanciful setting. Textured backgrounds and the feathered watercolors combine with delicate hues to create diaphanous images in an imaginative safari to friendship."--Kirkus Reviews. "...a child sets out from her yard in search of a crocodile. Unfortunately, never having seen a wild animal, she can't tell one from another--and so the stage is set for a simply told tale...Entertaining...for younger children..."--Booklist. "The soft, colorful paintings on flecked handmade paper are inviting."--School Library Journal.
