A cranky crocodile creates problems for the animals sharing his surroundings in this photographic story for young readers. When even the turtles feel they cannot stay near such a tough neighbour, the crocodile's attitude becomes part of a simple, engaging animal tale. Rebecca Johnson pairs accessible text with Steve Parish's wildlife photographs, giving the characters the visual presence of real Australian creatures. The pictures support observation and discussion while the narrative makes the animals' interactions easy to follow. Cranky Crocodile combines the appeal of a powerful reptile with a familiar emotional idea, inviting children to think about grumpiness and the effect one character can have on everyone nearby.
