Croc and Bird by Alexis Deacon

We have a new favourite picture book of the moment. It’s the wonderfully simple Croc and Bird. I’ve read other reviews of this as quirky and unusual, which I suppose it could be, but I thought of it more in terms of family. Your family isn’t necessarily your blood relations. They are the ppl you grow up with, that you learn from and influence, and in this family, the brothers may be very different, but they each benefit from the relationship.

I love it, and so does Smallest. There are books that I resent having to read repeatedly, this is one I reach for. I enjoy the illustrations, like the humour and adore the underlying message. Definitely a keeper.

Disclosure: this book was supplied free for the purpose of review.
