Everyone in the neighbourhood loves Lyle the crocodile—except for a cranky neighbour and his nervous cat! Can lovable Lyle make everything right with his grumpy neighbours? A beloved classic read-aloud—now a major motion picture!

Lyle, Lyle, 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 neighbourhood kids.

He’s the happiest crocodile any home ever had...until one neighbour 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.
