I’d Really Like to Eat a Child (Picture Book) A scrawny little crocodile wants the opportunity to bite off more than he can chew. He’s tired of bananas; today he’d like to eat a child. But he’s smaller than he thinks, and the little girl he chooses for his first meal puts him in his place she picks him up and tickles his tummy! The little crocodile is going to have to eat a lot of bananas and grow a lot bigger before he can add children to his menu! Simple yet hilarious artwork brings this droll story to life.
Customer Review: Excellent storytime fare!
Little Achilles the crocodile is asserting his first stabs at independence to his parents–he turns into a finicky eater and demands some grown-up food. “But we eat bananas for breakfast,” his mother entreats. Achilles’ parents try to entice him with his favorite foods: chocolate cake (sneakily made with lots of fresh milk) or a long sausage. The parents theatrically pretend it’s a disaster: “Boo-hoo-hoo! Our Achilles won’t eat” and let the youngster test the waters of his individual power. “Achilles was beginning to feel strange and rather weak all over–which is exactly what happens when you haven’t eaten your breakfast,” so he heads off for a swim where he spies a little girl. Expounding all his ferociousness to the little girl, Achilles comes across as ridiculously little and cute. The girl grabs him by the tale, tickles his belly, gets bored and splunks him in the river. Achilles goes home to eat his bananas, and look forward to the day he is big enough to eat a child. This is excellent storytime fare from a French author and illustrator team. Do not overlook the fun this story brings forth!
Customer Review: Great Child’s Book
Our daughter really loves this humorous book! The story is funny and the illustrations are really great! This book is especially a good choice for kids that are picky eaters because it shows in a humorous way that kids can relate too, the importance of eating your food.

Customer Review: Great Activity for Preschoolers
I bought this book as a resource for my church’s Preschool/Kindergarten Religious Exploration class. Each Sunday we have a class of 3-6 year olds for an hour. We break the time into short segnments and like to include some kinetic activities. They have together time, a spiritual message, a craft, a song, and then we use to play a game together. The games started getting a bit wild and sometimes too competative, so I thought a quieter physical activity like yoga might be a good fit. This book makes the positions so fun and easy: each child can be sucessful at thier own level. It has suggestions of how to use the poses, ways of advancing through the positions, a section sort of like a “teachers guide” so people unfamiliar with yoga (such as myself) can use it with confidence. The kids love doing Yoga and looking at the pictures to see how to do things. They are fully absorbed in trying to achieve the poses and talking about what a flower (or star or whatever the pose is modled on)feels like or sees or thinks. The book is very well done, thought provoking and affirming. I am fully delighted with it!! This is a wonderful adition to a young child’s life.

Customer Review: If you like Engelbreit you’ll be disappointed
As a fan of Mary Engelbreit and a first time grandmother-to-be I thought this would be a fun book.
It was dumb, not amusing and definitely not worth picking up.
