Reach for this book when your child is transitioning from listening to stories to decoding words on their own. It is an ideal pick for the moment a child starts showing curiosity about letter sounds but still needs a high-energy, funny narrative to keep their attention focused on the page. Croc Gets a Shock is designed to turn the sometimes-tedious process of phonics practice into a lighthearted game. The story follows a grumpy crocodile whose peaceful nap is interrupted by a series of noisy events, leading to a surprising and silly climax. While the plot is simple, it is packed with rhythmic, repetitive text that builds a sense of pride as children begin to predict and read the words themselves. It is a perfect 'confidence booster' for preschoolers and kindergartners who are ready to celebrate their growing 'big kid' reading skills.
