A crocodile is taken from Egypt by Napoleon, and turned into a Parisian entertainment. When the crocodile fad passes, the beast escapes into the sewers and provides its entertainment (and food) from among the Parisians. [return][return]Grown-ups will appreciate this book on a different level than kids -- the Napoleonic history and the mordant humor. In fact, I'm not sure exactly how well this book works for the picture-book crowd, but it's definitely entertaining in a Shel Silverstein-kind of way for the adult parents. ( ) This book was one of my favorites. It was educational as it gave information on different countries and people like Napoleon. It was also just a fun, funny read. The crocodile in this story was very comical and always talked about food. This was most important to him. While funny, I could definitely relate to him. Overall, this story was cute and education and I think it would be a good story for students in the classroom. I loved this book! The pictures were great; the words in the book had the sarcastic snarl of what I think a spoiled crocodile would sound like talking. I had trouble with a couple words so I think it is a book for parents to read to 1st - 2nd graders, but i think by 3rd grade a child could read this by him/herself. The story line had me thinking of two topics I could use this inside a classroom for... 1. Moving animals from their native areas to new areas. 2. Adopting animals, like at Easter time with pet rabbits and chics, and then forgetting about them or abandoning them. Great book! Lounging around on his comfortable mudbank in Egypt, a self-satisfied crocodile is suddenly netted up and carried away to France. The Emperor Napoleon has ordered him placed on display in Paris as a trophy! At first all the attention is nice, but what’s a hungry crocodile to eat in this strange place? It’s a wickedly funny tale delightfully illustrated by the author. Genre: Fantasy This book is about a talking crocodile, who was once living a great life in Egypt, but then Napoleon came in, and took him to France. The Crocodile is locked in a zoo, until he escapes and lives in the sewers of France. This book is more for middle school age children, because of the humor and difficulty of the words. It has some humor in it, and refers to historical events and figures (Napoleon). I didn't personally believe this book had much of a deeper meaning, I felt like it was more just a funny story to read. The illustrations are amazing though. I could maybe use this book as a way to talk about how animals shouldn't be taken from their homes and put into zoos, but even then I don't really think this book fits that criteria. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
