Where is Crocodile? This warm story explores the thoughts, feelings and imagined fears shared by friends when one of them suddenly goes missing. Delicate and complex emotions are handled with simplicity, while the pictures capture mood, motion and confusion with a light touch and a lot of heart. The book came out of a workshop in which writers and illustrators from Sweden and India came together to create stories that belonged to no one culture but spoke to children everywhere.
It is filled with emotions- centred around the fear of losing a friend. It covers a range of attempts made by a group of animal friends who find one of their gang missing. This is for the slightly older reader as it is heavier on the word count. The illustrations are fluid and evocative, making children want to doodle. Saffron Tree
