About the Book
A cranky neighbor puts Lyle in the zoo, but experiences a change of heart when the crocodile saves him from a fire. "Lyle is as lovable as ever and the story and colored pictures as nonsensical".--Booklist.Book Synopsis
Everyone in the neighborhood loves Lyle the crocodile--except for a cranky neighbor and his nervous cat! Can lovable Lyle make everything right with his grumpy neighbors? A beloved classic read-aloud--now a major motion picture!
Lyle the crocodile lives in a house on East 88th Street in New York City. Lyle enjoys helping the Primm family with everyday chores, and playing with the neighborhood kids.
He's the happiest crocodile any home ever had...until one neighbor insists that Lyle belongs in a zoo! Mr. Grumps and his cat, Loretta, don't like crocodiles, and everything Lyle does to win them over seems to go wrong.
It will take all of Lyle's charm--and courage--to reveal the hero, and friend, behind the big, crocodile smile.
