This is a young child’s board book with lift the flaps and pop-ups.  It has bright, colorful illustrations that are well-balanced and visually pleasing.  The characters are introduced the very first page, with Mr Croc and five of his friends.  On each succeeding page, Mr Croc is invited to come and play and each time he replies he is too busy looking for one of his friends.  The reader must then lift up a variety of flaps and find the friend.  This activity provides good memory skills for the reader as well as naming skills.  Sturdy board pages, but inappropriate for a school library as the flaps always tear.
