Bringing beautiful and unique stories to children

I am Ivan Crocodile!By René Gouichoux and illustrated by Julia Neuhaus

ISBN 97809806 71131

Synopsis

Ivan is a very special six-year-old. There is something about the way he looks and moves that sets him apart from the others in his class. Ivan knows that he is different, what’s more he knows why. Inside, he is a crocodile.

Ivan is a friendly crocodile who would love to be one of the gang, but the others don’t understand his crocodile ways. They taunt him and tease him, making him feel very much alone.

By the end of Ivan’s story we take comfort in the fact that this young crocodile has found a way of feeling less alone as he takes his place in class with all the others.

Julia Neuhaus

There is something about Ivan that makes him different from the other six year olds in his class, and they tease him for it. Ivan is

able to explain his uniqueness to us: inside, he believes he is a crocodile.

When we accept the invitation to enter Ivan’s crocodile world, we can expect to be thoroughly engaged, but we can also expect

to be emotionally challenged.

What we cannot expect is a straightforward moral to this story, whereby diffi cult

situations are simply resolved.

In telling us his story, Ivan leaves us with much to think and talk about.

The Age“Forget the standard Three Little Pigs version, this is much more entertaining as each tiny porker goes wee wee wee all over the French countryside in search of their not-so-small smalls. Told in rhyming verse, the language is playful and inventive while Anne Letuffe’s collage paint and fabric illustrations add a rich second layer to the story. A delightful read for twos and up”.

The Age – M Magazine “A superb twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Princess and the Pea, this has a royal rabbit looking for her prince. But just when she dares to hope for true happiness, her potential prince fails the pea test. As clever as the rhyming story is, it’s the stunning collage illustrations that make this book special”.
