Why, oh why, am I a crocodile?

A crocodile with low-self esteem longs to be anything but herself. As she walks along, she wishes she were a beautiful parrot, an elegant giraffe, a majestic lion or a swanky snake. "Why, oh why, am I a crocodile?" she continuously asks herself. As she begins to sob uncontrollably, a blind monkey swings into her life. After she's finished reeling off her ailments, he gives her some valuable advice: to love yourself for who you are. It is only when he introduces her to some newfound friends: a parrot who can't blend in, a giraffe who hates being tall and thin, a lion that wishes he wasn't so scary and a snake who wants to be hairy, she realises that things aren't always as they first appear. A fun and fabulous, rhyming children's book exploring emotional issues such as low self-esteem and negative self-image. This lovely bedtime story, for toddlers, young children (and grown-ups!), is the perfect tool for discussing these all-important, ever-increasing feelings in a child-friendly way. The vibrant illustrations, with quirky extra details, will keep kids totally engaged and they will love joining in with the repetitive element of the book. Why, oh why, am I a crocodile? is the perfect addition to any child's bookshelf.
