Book Review of Princess Cora and the Crocodile by Laura Amy Schlitz; Illustrated by Brain Floca

This early chapter book, perfect for out loud reading and for the newly independent reader, is a great modern fairy tale complete with a strong willed heroine (princess Cora), parents who just don’t listen, a maid on a mission to clean up the world, one bath at a time and a mischievous, cream puff eating crocodile. Ms. Schlitz’s writing is witty, creative and captivating and the gorgeous accompanying illustrations, by Brain Floca, fit the character of the book perfectly. Readers will find it impossible not to fall in love with the two true heroes of this tale, the saucy crocodile and the zestful princess. The happy ending shows that paying a little attention to what is in front of us goes a long way! I highly recommend this delightful story. croc-and-epergne
