Lyle, Lyle Crocodile
Author: Bernard Waber
Lexile measure: 760
Bottom line: The civilized crocodile.
Language: No issues.
Violence: None.
Big Kid Mature Topics: The friendly crocodile ends up being put in the zoo, where he is rejected by the other crocodiles. He is let out of the zoo by a friend in disguise. There is a house fire.
Illustrations: This is a picture book.
Plot: complex.
Both of my children enjoyed this book. I did as well, which makes this our first 3 thumbs up book on the blog! It is about 45 pages, so it is good for a bedtime story. The main character is very sweet, for a crocodile. This was a good one for teaching vocabulary related to emotions. It is also a member of a series of books on Lyle, though the reading level on the others is a little lower, with Lexiles in the mid-500s.
