Books Junior Read: The Richest Crocodile in the World by Daniel Postgate

 This term, Junior's school is touching on Animals. So Kiasu Mummy went to the library and borrowed many books on Animals.

 I pretty like this book because of its Big illustration! 

I believe kids at 3 years old would prefer books with more pictures than words. 

It's always good to draw their attention and building their liking on reading story books than to ask them to read books full of words which I believe kids at this age will not be interested.

 A little about this book's story!

Summary (From NLB's Catalogue):

There were only a very few rich animals in the world, and the richest by far was a crocodile. He lived in a crumbly old mansion in Africa and had everything his heart desired—a movie theater, a beautiful garden, loads of cars and airplanes, a library stuffed with books, a loyal servant. But still, there seemed to be something missing. Then one day, as he looks out at the African plains, he sees a group of animals in a watering hole having loads of fun. It’s then that the crocodile begins to realize what’s missing. Packed with exotic animals and vibrant artwork, this is a wonderfully entertaining tale about friendship and the adventure of living.

My review of this book:

After reading this book to Junior, although his interest and liking is still on cars, tractors, etc, but still I want him to get in touch with other stories and characters. What I like about this book is it's illustration, big pictures that actually attracted Junior's attention. Also the words are easy to read and most of the sentences are pretty short. It kind of let Junior understand what the crocodile is missing although he's the super rich animal. It kind of teach him a little moral values about life. Nice story! Short and sweet~
