Croc & Turtle may be different, but theyre the best of friends! This adorable winter-themed story will warm your heart, and is perfect for fans of Penguin and Pinecone. Croc and Turtle are best friends! Its a wintry day, so Croc and Turtle are ready for snow fun! But Croc likes outside activities and Turtle likes inside activities. What happens when best friends have very different ideas of fun? In this new humorous and heartwarming adventure, Croc and Turtle navigate the ups and downs of friendship. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1-Best friends Croc and Turtle are back. Each has made a list of fun things to do on a snowy day. Theres just one problem: Crocs list is full of outdoor activities (he doesnt seem to realize he is cold blooded) while Turtles is full of indoor ones. Since they want to play together, they agree to do everything on both lists. It doesnt go well. Turtle cant skate or sled and Croc cant do crafts and is bored by puzzles. After storming off, they realize it is no fun without each other and come up with the perfect compromise. The cartoon illustrations are rendered in gouache and will appeal to young readers who like their friendship lessons lighthearted and fun.
