Title: A cute book, with a poor message, and frightening crocodiles
Product review: At first glance, I liked this book, but my 2.5 yr old son did not like it at all. When I asked him why, he pointed to a drawing of the crocodiles, and said "sharp teeth." A similar book that he prefered is "One Monkey Too Many." I found the rhymes somewhat forced. The message is one greedy monkey can outwit many crocodiles to help get what he wants -- not exactly a good role model for a young child. One page of crocodiles with chicken pox only reminded my son of the shot the doctor gave him to avoid the pox. In the end, the monkey does not deliver what he promised to the crocodiles -- how many crocodiles are there in the sea?
