Summary
Everyone in the neighborhood loves Lyle the crocodile—except for a cranky neighbor and his nervous cat！ Can lovable Lyle make everything right with his grumpy neighbors？
Lyle the crocodile lives in a house on East 88th Street in New York City。 Lyle enjoys helping the Primm family with everyday chores， and playing with the neighborhood kids。 He’s the happiest crocodile any home ever had…until one neighbor insists that Lyle belongs in a zoo！ Mr。 Grumps and his cat， Loretta， don't like crocodiles， and everything Lyle does to win them over seems to go wrong。 It will take all of Lyle’s charm—and courage—to reveal the hero， and friend， behind the big， crocodile smile。

Odd storyline， with seemingly no point or moral lesson。 🤷🏼♂️ The first sketch of Lyle the crocodile in the tub is simply adorable！ SWISH SWASH SPLASH SWOOSH“I have no information about a crocodile wearing a red scarf。” 🧣🐊

I had to purchase and read this book to my Munchkins who hadn't read it before。 Nor had my husband。 Growing up I enjoyed the series and returning to it was like a warm hug。 I'm going to have to reread them all。 I had to purchase and read this book to my Munchkins who hadn't read it before。 Nor had my husband。 Growing up I enjoyed the series and returning to it was like a warm hug。 I'm going to have to reread them all。 。。。more

We read this and then went to see the movie that just came out。 My daughter （6） and I really enjoyed both and liked comparing and contrasting them。

Essa semana estreia nos cinemas norte-americanos a adaptação de Lyle， Lyle， Crocodile。 Lyle é protagonista de uma série de livrinhos escritos por Bernard Waber， dos quais só li esse segundo porque não me chamou tanta atenção assim para que eu continuasse os lendo， mas quem sabe uma adaptação como musical não se elabore de forma mais divertida？ A quem quero enganar， acho que a minha falta de admiração recai no fato que o "vilão" do livro só queria proteger seu gato do crocodilo。 Essa semana estreia nos cinemas norte-americanos a adaptação de Lyle， Lyle， Crocodile。 Lyle é protagonista de uma série de livrinhos escritos por Bernard Waber， dos quais só li esse segundo porque não me chamou tanta atenção assim para que eu continuasse os lendo， mas quem sabe uma adaptação como musical não se elabore de forma mais divertida？ A quem quero enganar， acho que a minha falta de admiração recai no fato que o "vilão" do livro só queria proteger seu gato do crocodilo。 。。。more

This crocodile lives in a fancy apartment， visits a department store， reunites with a star of stage and screen， escapes from the zoo， and becomes a hero to fire fighters everywhere！

Lyle T。 Crocodile is an American hero。 He perseveres despite prejudice from Mr。 Grumps and dedicates himself to doing the right thing-- helping Joshua study， playing games with neighborhood children， and being a constant companion to Mrs。 Primm。 After a short stint in the zoo with non-sentient crocodilians due to unfair accusations， Lyle believes returning to his former life of performing with Signor Valenti is his only option。 Resigned to his fate， he returns to the Primms home to find Mr。 Grum Lyle T。 Crocodile is an American hero。 He perseveres despite prejudice from Mr。 Grumps and dedicates himself to doing the right thing-- helping Joshua study， playing games with neighborhood children， and being a constant companion to Mrs。 Primm。 After a short stint in the zoo with non-sentient crocodilians due to unfair accusations， Lyle believes returning to his former life of performing with Signor Valenti is his only option。 Resigned to his fate， he returns to the Primms home to find Mr。 Grumps building on fire！ Without hesitation， he rushes inside saving Mr。 Grumps and his cat， showing that sometimes our expectations of our neighbors， however different from ourselves， are absolutely incorrect。One's outer appearance isn't indicative of their inner being， and we should all have the right to live peacefully and happily with the family we make。The illustrations in this book are delightful， and I'm happy to have committed time to reading this。 。。。more

Charming children's book that teaches the importance of acceptance and tolerance in the classic children's book way of a crocodile living amongst humans。 Should be interesting to see how this is adapted into a movie。 Charming children's book that teaches the importance of acceptance and tolerance in the classic children's book way of a crocodile living amongst humans。 Should be interesting to see how this is adapted into a movie。 。。。more

if someone loves you， great！ if someone doesn’t， so what！ a person， or rather crocodile， should never feel that they have to gain acceptance from others， especially when others may not see that person’s， or crocodile’s， greatness。 their loss！

More lengthy and complicated of a story than most modern picture books。 Lyle the friendly crocodile is liked by all， except for Mr。 Grumps and his cat。 After Lyle inadvertantly scares the cat and later causes a scene at Mr。 Grumps's department store， Mr。 Grumps gets him remanded to a zoo。 What will Lyle and his family do？ More lengthy and complicated of a story than most modern picture books。 Lyle the friendly crocodile is liked by all， except for Mr。 Grumps and his cat。 After Lyle inadvertantly scares the cat and later causes a scene at Mr。 Grumps's department store， Mr。 Grumps gets him remanded to a zoo。 What will Lyle and his family do？ 。。。more

heh heh heh now that I'm working in a Children's department， you better believe I'm going to start adding children's books。 But I won't count them towards my yearly goal， how's that。 heh heh heh now that I'm working in a Children's department， you better believe I'm going to start adding children's books。 But I won't count them towards my yearly goal， how's that。 。。。more

A well written book。 Enjoyed reading it。

A fun children's classic。 Slightly politically incorrect in a few points when viewed through a lens of 2022 wokeness。 That makes it， if anything， MORE enjoyable。 A fun children's classic。 Slightly politically incorrect in a few points when viewed through a lens of 2022 wokeness。 That makes it， if anything， MORE enjoyable。 。。。more

This is a cute story about a crocodile who can walk， dance， and ice skate。 I like how they give him anthropomorphic characteristics。 It's a little bit long for kids but it's funny how Lyle is a crocodile who is a family's pet causing the neighbors trouble。 This is a cute story about a crocodile who can walk， dance， and ice skate。 I like how they give him anthropomorphic characteristics。 It's a little bit long for kids but it's funny how Lyle is a crocodile who is a family's pet causing the neighbors trouble。 。。。more

This is such a cute story。 The good crocodile wins in the end。

This book was cute！ It was silly to see all the things that a crocodile could do in this world。 I do feel like the story has been told so many times， so it was easy to know how it would end。 But still cute！ The illustrations were a little weird though haha。
