★ WINNER Children's Book Council Award for Book of the Year: Early Childhood ★
Caroline Crocodile is not thrilled with her baby brother. He drools. A lot. But all Mama Crocodile ever says is how GORGEOUS he is! And so Caroline ventures into a baby shop to swap out her brother. Unfortunately, the baby panda is a fussy eater, the giraffe is missing scales, and the piglet isn’t green. Turns out, the best younger sibling around might just be her own yellow-eyed, sharp-clawed, drooling baby brother...
'Ormerod and Joyner infuse humor into the mishaps with each baby [and] Joyner’s comic illustrations add much to the story’s success with their expressive, detailed and engaging approach.' –Kirkus Reviews
Perfect for:
- Toddlers and preschoolers, especially those with younger siblings.
