La opinión de los lectores sobre The Crocodile Who Didn’t Like Water:

“A new take on the Ugly Duckling, this picture book about not fitting in and finding your true talents. The story centres on a crocodile who doesn’t like water, no matter how hard he tries! There is a surprising twist at the end, when the crocodile discovers why he doesn’t like water and finds a way to be happy anyway.

This book is sure to make children laugh and will be a great starter for discussion about being different, the hidden talents the children have and how we can help each other.”. From goodreads.com

“Such a lovely story with a strong moral message – no matter how hard you try sometimes you just don’t enjoy the things everyone else does. But that’s ok!”. From goodreads.com

“Both of my boys love this book, and I love it, too. A sweet, funny book about finding your own unique gifts when you’re a misfit in your family. (But without giving up your original family, either!) And: DRAGONS!”. From goodreads.com

“A story that seems to be about not fitting in has a surprising, funny twist. A delightful tale, wonderfully illustrated.”. From goodreads.com
