Funny, Funny Lyle

Bernard Waber

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1987 - Juvenile Fiction - 40 pages

Lyle the lovable crocodile faces two big challenges: introducing his mother to city life and preparing for the Primms' new baby. "Warm and witty, the book's multi-level text gets plenty of help from the colorful pictures in Waber's familiar style, which are a joy in themselves." -- Booklist
