Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile (Lyle the Crocodile)

Product Information

Hector, a failed magician, finds a singing crocodile called Lyle that he’s sure will lead him to success. Unfortunately, Lyle gets a massive case of stage fright that costs Hector his NYC brownstone — and his pet. So when the Primm family moves in, their son Josh (who’s in desperate need of a pal) is surprised to find that Lyle’s been living in their attic all alone. The two become fast friends, and Mr. and Mrs. Primm eventually warm up to Lyle too. But their downstairs neighbor, Mr. Grumps, is not having it — and he’ll do anything to boot the croc out of his home. Where does Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile take place? Lyle the Crocodile is a heartwarming tale of friendship and second chances. Javier Bardem stars as Hector, a struggling magician who stumbles upon a talented young croc with a love for singing. Together, they embark on a journey to reignite Hector’s career and overcome Lyle’s stage fright. However, when life throws a few curveballs, the duo must find a way to overcome their challenges and support each other. a b Grobar, Matt (December 16, 2021).

Bernard Waber, who passed away in 2013 at the age of 91, was a renowned children’s book author and illustrator who became interested in creating children’s books after his art portfolio, containing children’s illustrations, caught several art directors’ attention. At the same time, Waber was reading aloud to his three children, which sparked his enthusiasm for the genre. His children, however, occasionally became uncomfortable with his constant focus on children’s books as they thought he, as an adult, should be more focused on adult literature.
