My Review: I read this with my 7 year old daughter who thoroughly enjoyed all of the snapping noises. She loves books that are in a lyrical prose and this one had a great flow to it. We love books that focus on nature and wildlife, so we really enjoyed The Grumpy Crocodile. The only thing that she didn't like was the eating of the fish as that made her a ltitle sad. I explained the cycle of life and the fact that we eat fish as well, and she was fine. :)
