About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning into the more independent social world of the 'big kid' playground, or when you want to celebrate the slow, unhurried pace of a perfect summer afternoon. It is an ideal choice for cooling down after a high-energy day, offering a gentle reminder that the best parts of childhood are often found in the simplest shared moments. Morris the crocodile and his diverse group of animal friends navigate the scorching heat of the dry season by gathering at the waterhole. Through a series of short, episodic chapters, Bob Graham captures the quiet humor of childhood friendships: the thrill of a splash, the patience required to wait for a turn, and the easy camaraderie of doing nothing in particular together. It is a masterclass in social-emotional nuances for children aged 4 to 8, modeling how to be a good friend in a low-stakes, joyful environment.
