The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water is a funny, unique and

from award-winning creator Gemma Merino. Everybody knows that

it can be lonely when you're the odd one out, so the little
crocodile tries his best to change. But being wet isn't for
everyone - and a shiver soon becomes a cold and the cold becomes a
sneeze, a surprisingly HOT sneeze... Could it be that this little
crocodile isn't a crocodile at all? He might just be a DRAGON!

In Die geheim van die woud lees ’n ma vir haar kinders, Amelie en
Roland, elke aand dieselfde storie. Sy vertel van die twee
konyntjies, Oortjies en Tongetjie, en ’n woud waar die wolwe
vriende is van die konyne en hulle nooit seermaak nie. Soos in elke
woud is daar in hierdie verhaal ook ’n wolf. Sy is egter blind en
bekommerd dat sy nie na haar welpies sal kan omsien wanneer hulle
gebore word nie. Soos die ma die verhaal vertel, word die twee
kinders as’t ware Oortjies en Tongetjie en verander die kamer in
die magiese woud. Die metafoor van die herstel van die verbond
tussen mens en dier word op subtiele en verbeeldingryke manier
daardeur verken. Die geheim van die woud is nie ’n verhaal oor bang
hasies en wrede wolwe nie, maar ’n verhaal wat vertel van
moederliefde, die verbeeldingswereld van ’n kind en die herstel van
die ewewig van die natuur.

What on Earth am I? is Lara Salomon's and Megan Bird's first children's book together, investigating complex topics, like identity, diversity, and existentialism, for kids.
It is a wonderful picture book for children with more questions than answers about the world. The book follows a young child’s over-active imagination, which often leaves them confused as to what kind of creature they are. They try their very best to discover the answer by recalling the many creatures that they've read about in their storybooks and fairytales.
I've been reading all these stories, and they've got me quite confused. Because they feature all these creatures, and I'm really not amused.
