Die nuwe leesreeks uit die pen van Jaco Jacobs stel kinders deur middel van prettige stories aan verskillende klanke bekend. Die reeks het 'n sterk strokiesprent-aanslag, met volop spraakborrels en fantastiese volkleurillustrasies deur Nadia du Plessis, en die twee onwaarskynlike beste maats, 'n knorrige krokodil en 'n lewenslustige komkommertjie, sal dadelik in beginnerlesers se harte kruip. Jaco is self die pa van twee dogtertjies, Mia (9) en Emma (7), wat die afgelope paar jaar leer lees het, en hy se een van die grootste struikelblokke was om toeganklike beginnerleesboeke op te spoor. "My kinders het grootgeword met stories - van die heel lekkerste storieboeke in Afrikaans en Engels wat aan hulle voorgelees is. Dit was daarom vir hulle baie frustrerend as beginnerleesboeke net op die klanke fokus, sonder 'n sterk, vermaaklike storielyn. Dit is waarom ek die Krok en Dil-reeks begin skryf het - ek wou 'n leesreeks skryf wat vir lesers - en ouers! - 'n prettige storie in elke boek bied, met hope humor."
