Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile

Bernard Waber introduced readers to a peculiar neighbor in his 1962 debut, The House on East 88th Street, but the 1965 sequel Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile expands that world into a full-blown adventure. This 32-page picture book continues the story of Lyle, a singing crocodile who has already settled into life with the Primms family in their New York City brownstone. The narrative picks up as the family faces new challenges while trying to keep their unusual pet a secret from the suspicious neighbors.[edit]
