Description
Everyone needs hugs and love in this offbeat, upbeat ode to the not-so-cuddly—and yet still sweet and beloved!
Despite their lumpy, bumpy hide, toothy mouths stretched open wide, just like me and just like you, crocodiles need kisses too.
Fun-to-read-aloud, rhyming text describes prickly porcupines, roaring tigers, and slithery snakes—not the most cuddly creatures, but still worthy of hugs and snuggles from their mamas!
With a luscious and colourful palette, Crocodiles Need Kisses Too shows that animals (and children) don't have to be warm and fuzzy to be totally lovable.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Crocodiles Need Kisses Too is praised for its adorable acrylic illustrations by Dullaghan, featuring diverse and calming environments that add charm to the story. The book carries a simple but impactful moral about the importance of love and acceptance for all creatures, making it a valuable addition to any children's collection.
