About the Book

Join best friends Melrose and Croc for a day of sunshine and laughter beside the sea! This glowing picture book from the creator of the Blue Kangaroo series is perfect for sharing with little children who are making friends.

Little Green Croc is in a snappy mood, but Melrose knows that a guessing game and a trip to the seaside will soon have his favourite friend smiling again.

This charming picture book is full of sunshine, brightly capturing the warmth of true friendship. Wonderfully illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark, it’s a perfect addition to the Melrose and Croc series.

A summary on pages 26 and 27 of the clues that Melrose gives Croc provides support for children in recapping the story.

Gold/Band 9 fiction offers developing readers literary language and stories with distinctive characters.

Ideas for reading at the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.
