This book by Faustin Charles, illustrated by Mike Terry, is about (oooooooo spoilers) a crocodile who tends to regard his own interests above those of his fellow river-dwellers, until one day he gets toothache, and a mouse helps, and suddenly he starts opening up. That's it! How wholesome is that? Brilliant, right? The pictures are juicily detailed, adding layers of character onto prose that A. doesn't even rhyme & B. isn't that good but overall makes for a pretty good kids' book, I suppose.
