Big Green Crocodile

Big Green Crocodile is a collection of sixteen contemporary action rhymes brought to life through bright and playful illustrations which are as active and joyfully noisy as the poems themselves. Illustrations of colourful animals, young children, dinosaurs and vehicles buzz, sneeze, wobble, squeak, tap and zoom through the poems and off the pages. Each rhyme is thoughtfully accompanied by an invitation to play through a ‘Let’s Play’ section which contain actions, and interactions which children can perform with a supporting adult. The collection combines relatable childhood experiences rooted in young children’s daily lives such as playing with sticks, bath time and celebrating birthdays with whimsical anthropomorphic characters.

Big Green Crocodile has been shortlisted for the CLiPPA 2021.
