Product Description

▼▲

It's hard to imagine how loveable Lyle--the helpful, happy crocodile--could cause a neighborhood feud. But that is just what had happened. Lyle was making Loretta, Mr. Grumps's cat, miserable. The more the well meaning Lyle tried to win the frightened Loretta's friendship by flashing his toothsome smile, the more unhappy Loretta became. And when Loretta was unhappy Mr. Grumps was furious.

How this tense neighborhood situation is resolved makes a rollicking, frolicking picture story, taking the reader on a Cook's tour of Manhattan. From the Rockefeller skating rink to a department store pajama sale; from sidewalk superintendency to Central Park zoo occupancy, it all happens to Lyle. And as readers learned in The House on East 88th St, when the winsome Lyle and the versatile Bernard Waber get together, a real treat is in store. Recommended for ages 5 to 8.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

Everyone in the neighborhood loves Lyle the crocodile—except for a cranky neighbor and his nervous cat! Can lovable Lyle make everything right with his grumpy neighbors? A beloved classic read-aloud—now a major motion picture!

Lyle the crocodile lives in a house on East 88th Street in New York City. Lyle enjoys helping the Primm family with everyday chores, and playing with the neighborhood kids.

He’s the happiest crocodile any home ever had…until one neighbor insists that Lyle belongs in a zoo! Mr. Grumps and his cat, Loretta, don't like crocodiles, and everything Lyle does to win them over seems to go wrong.

It will take all of Lyle’s charm—and courage—to reveal the hero, and friend, behind the big, crocodile smile.
