Beard, Alex Crocodile's Tears, 48 pgs. Harry N. Abrams Publishers, January 2012. Content - G PICTURE BOOK
One morning in Africa, Crocodile begins to cry. Rhino and Tickbird know Crocodile is dangerous so they don't ask why, instead they seek out Eagle to see if he knows. Eagle can only guess, so he sends Rhino and Tickbird to Elephant and the two go from animal to animal but never get a sure answer. The ending is rather surprising and made me laugh.
This book has very original and unique artwork. It's a very beautifully written story. It's message is conservation and animal preservation, which is obvious but stops at the edge of overbearing.
