Henry (age 4)
This comedian learns all his tricks from his 11-year-old brother. Neither of them know what they’re talking about half the time. My apologies.
Tell me about Crocodaddy.
I like it. I’m honest about it.
What else?
Nothing else.
What was your favorite part?
Where he drowns. The little guy—what’s his name?
I don’t think it ever says his name.
I’ll just call him James. Where James sinks into the bottom.

Note: contrary to source opinions, this book does not contain a drowning sequence.
Adeline (age 8)
For a slightly more refined take on Kim Norman’s Crocodaddy.
I like the illustrations.
At the end, "Hunter" and his father have shadows of Crocodaddy and his baby.
I like it when Hunter gets a sandwich and puts it on a rope so Crocodaddy can eat it and then he jumps on him.

Tell Adeline I like that picture too :)
I liked Adeline's picture, too.
And I think James is a fine name for a drowning boy.
Great job, Noel. Thanks for the photos!
