摘要
In this collection, Faustin Charles has taken well-known and much-loved nursery rhymes and given them a very special animal twist. Michael Terry's energetic illustrations match the character and bounce of the rhymes, and the book is accompanied by a CD of Faustin Charles narrating them, with lots of amazing animal sounds and noises.

PreS-Gr 2-Charles uses characters from his picture book The Selfish Crocodile (Little Tiger, 1999) to offer new versions of traditional rhymes. "Three brave mice, three brave mice,/See how they run, see how they run;/They all ran after the crocodile,/Who gave them a hug and a toothy smile.." Lions, giraffes, wild pigs, monkeys, and other animals appear in the rhymes. Terry's bright, amusing illustrations add plenty of energy. Even the spread of the crocodile's "teeth, teeth shining bright" isn't scary. On the accompanying CD, the author recites or sings, with a few jungle sound effects to spice up the presentation. With so many nursery-rhyme collections available, this one need not go to the top of a purchase list unless Charles's picture book is popular.-Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato (c) Copyright 2010.

A crocodile claims ownership of the forest's river and forcibly defends his turf. His impressive array of sharp teeth intimidates the other animals: "Whenever they were thirsty, they had to go for miles out of their way to drink in other rivers and streams." Then one day, when a terrible toothache torments the crocodile, a tiny mouse suddenly and inexplicably scurries into his mouth to extract the offending molar. The crocodile's hard heart quickly softens and he realizes, "The river belongs to all of us!" Charles (A Caribbean Counting Book) uses just enough dialogue to ratchet up the story's drama, yet omits the motive behind the mouse's decision to risk his life and help the crocodile. Terry's (Animal Stories) full-bleed spreads, in tropical blues and greens, convey a verdant panorama. His broadly portrayed animals sport bug eyes and cartoonish grins, and the louche crocodileÄdepicted in one spread lounging with centerfold-like raffishnessÄis particularly sporting. But because key narrative developments seem to be skipped over or taken for granted, the resolution feels rushed and the moral diluted. Ages 3-7. (Mar.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Kirkus评论
A weak story that has echoes of familiar folktales, but no resonance. A selfish crocodile who lived ``deep in the forest'' commands all the other animals to stay away from the river, which he considers his. ``I'll eat you up!'' he warns. The animals have to walk ``for miles out of their way'' to find drinking water. One day the crocodile has a toothache, and when the others are too frightened to get close, a mouse pulls the tooth and promises to help him in the future. Consequently, the crocodile invites all the creatures to enjoy the river, although the connection between having a friend and declaring open house is left vague. The illustrations have a greeting-card charm, with 13 animals trudging off for water bearing the same pop-eyed, frowning expression. When the crocodile groans in pain, the animals don't look toward the source of sound, but up in the air at the words ``GROAN . . . GROAN.'' (Picture book. 3-7)
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Ages 4^-7. In a river deep in the forest lives a large and very selfish crocodile who claims the river belongs to him alone and warns the other creatures to stay away or he'll eat them. He spends his life alone until one day he gets a toothache. Nobody dares help him until a brave mouse ventures in and pulls the tooth. The crocodile is so grateful that they become good friends, and the crocodile, having discovered the wonders of friendship, invites the other creatures back to the river, where they grow quite fond of him. This lesson in friendship is presented with hilarious, large, bright illustrations, making it perfect for reading aloud to groups. --Helen Rosenberg
