Crocodaddy. By: Kim Norman. Illustrated by: David Walker. (2009)

Crocodaddy, by Kim Norman is a cute story about a little boy that is swimming with a crocodile, and he is the crocodile hunter. Only its not really a crocodile, its the crocodaddy. Its a really sweet story about a boy that is having a fun afternoon with his daddy. I love this story. I think of all the fun my son has with his daddy. Its a lot of fun to watch as Daddy becomes a child again while he plays with his little boy. While I am reading I can picture my husband as the Crocodady, and my son as the little boy. I love reading this book with my son, Jonathan, and he loves it too. He has such a special bond with my husband, and whenever there are stories or songs about a daddy and his little boy, my son gets really into it. It is so adorable!
