Summary:
Sick of boring lessons, Princess Cora writes to her fairy godmother for help, but she doesn't expect that help to come in the form of a crocodile.
"...Schlitz's witty writing matches perfectly with the energetic watercolors by Brian Floca...dare you not to laugh at the pink-frocked reptile desperately trying to jump rope."--New York Times Book Review.
"Starred Review...an original tale that seamlessly combines reality, magic, and wit."--Booklist.
"Starred Review. Legions of schoolchildren will empathize with overscheduled Princess Cora...In illustrations that amplify Schlitz's wry humor, Caldecott Medalist Floca produces a reptile that delightfully runs amuck...Utterly charming from start to finish."--Publishers Weekly.
"Starred Review...laugh-out-loud funny...reminiscent of the finest adult-comeuppance collaborations of Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake, with the added bonus that the princess learns to speak up for herself and the grown-ups learn to listen."--School Library Journal.
"The crocodile's antics are juxtaposed against Cora's pastoral day and enhanced by Floca's ink, watercolor, and gouache illustrations, which superbly amplify the story's emotional arc. All ends happily..."--Kirkus Reviews.
