Lyle the crocodile, loved by one and all, is dismayed to discover
that he has an enemy: who can be sending those poison pen notes?
"Hoping somewhere, somehow, his 'enemy' would see what a nice
crocodile he really was," he exhausts himself trying to be amusing
and kind and helpful - but to no avail. Then Clover Sue Hipple; who
keeps popping up, is caught slipping a note under the door and Mrs.
Primm pries out her reason: her friends run off to play with Lyle
and she's "not allowed to play with crocodiles." What has been
rueful and funny (vide Lyle looking out the window and thinking
"Somebody out there hates me") becomes at this point, a tract on
tolerance (call him Charley). Mrs. Primm's attempt to convince Mrs.
Hipple that Lyle is harmless fails until, one day at the beach,
Lyle saves Clover from drowning and, in becoming a hero, becomes a
desirable companion. Children who love Lyle for himself will rise
in indignation, so will adults who've had enough of minding manners
and making nice, to make friends. (Kirkus Reviews)
Lyle is distraught to learn he has an enemy and tries to be an even more lovable crocodile than he was before.
