5.0 out of 5 stars
A story about a crocodile not afraid to be unique.
A wonderful book to share with students preschool to 3rd grade. This book shares the insight of a different approach to life as a crocodile, and that being unique is O.K. and fun. A great story for all classrooms, especially classrooms with diverse cultures.

This is not the original story
This is a shorter, much simplified version of the original story that was published by Pantheon books in 1983. I'm not sure what the point was in making a simplified version, since the complete story of Cornelius was my son's favorite when he was 3 years old. I'd skip this version and go with the original.

Not a great teaching, in my opinion,

This review is from: Cornelius (Dragonfly Books) (Paperback)
Maybe I'm missing something: I was very excited to get this book. But when we read it the first time, i was very disappointed! Yes, Cornelius does go off and do his own thing but why does he care so much that the others appreciate what he does AND then why does the story end with the others trying to copy him? Doesn't that counter the story- that he does his own thing for the value of individuality and is fulfilled by doing it, without always having to have reinforcement from others? And that the other crocs don't have to copy him and lose their own individuality?
I haven't wanted to read this again for my daughter after the first go round.

There are better ones,
This review is from: Cornelius (Dragonfly Books) (Paperback)
The theme is not new and the flow is less than ideal.
