Great Book

This is a really great book for young children. It's interesting and enjoyable. The seller was really fabulous with immediate service and nice packaging.

A Painful Hit

For most adults The Crocodile & The Dentist is likely to appear excruciatingly repetitive. This impression is not alleviated after 60 or 70 readings. In other words, it is a delight for 2 and 3 year olds, probably because of its repetitiveness. Youngsters will know by heart the story of the crocodile and dentist's mutual fear of one another long before they weary of hearing it read aloud.
