What Does Little Crocodile Say at the Birthday Party? is part of an ongoing series about the adventures of a little crocodile. This picture book delves into little crocodile’s birthday party and the associated sounds that go with it. From what noise the decorations make, to the sound of the pump blowing balloons, this book is great for introducing new sounds to children between the ages of 2 and 5 years old. The illustrations which appear to be drawn with crayons provide a playful and inviting feel to young readers. The simplicity of the text also works well to have children practice and mimic the sounds of the birthday party. This book along with the others in the series would be a great addition to any home library or just a regular public library.
