The Lonely Crocodile: Pop-up Stories

Description

The colourful Pop-Up Stories series combines fun rhyming texts and bright, bold pop-up art to captivate and delight young readers. In The Lonely Crocodile, Clarence sets off on a stomp through the swamp to try to find a friend, but everyone he meets runs away in fright. Will he ever find a playmate? Right at the very end, there's a wonderful pop-up surprise: another snappy crocodile who's also looking for a friend, and the two of them frolic in the sun! Young readers will relate to this heartwarming tale of friendship.

Emily Hawkins studied English at Nottingham University, and since then has worked in children's publishing. She has written many rhyming books for Templar, including Two By Two and The Christmas Star. The Pope Twins work together to create their colourful, collaged style of artwork. Liz sketches out the designs, which Kate then works up in paint, collage and patterned paper. They have oodles of fun creating their artwork in this way!
