Crocodile Tears Summary

Crocodile Tears by Andre Francois

Crocodile Tears is a 1956 children's story from the famous graphic designer and illustrator Andre Francois that tells how to catch a crocodile by going to Egypt. And it tells how to get a crocodile home, and even what happens after that! A smart, fun, gorgeous classic!

Andre Francois was a French graphic designer and illustrator, who lived in New York City for a time and did many covers for The New Yorker. He also studied with Picasso and created many cartoons and picture books. Little Boy Brown (1949) was his first picture book to be published in the US.

Crocodile Tears Reviews

A New York Times Best Illustrated Book of 1956 "As a design object, the physical book package is perfection."Kirkus Review "Crocodile Tears by the late, great French satirist and cartoonist Andre Francois from Enchanted Lion Books is a rarity that recently was rereleased along with Francois illustrations of Nelly Stefanes Roland and Milton and Shirley Glasers If Apples Had Teeth-each a beautifully recreated version of the original, back in print for the first time in almost 60 years."The Daily Heller "The famed graphic designer Andre Francois gives us a perfectly composed piece of childrens literature in the most perfect packaging youve ever seen. Long and thin is a box decorated to look like its come to you by post, containing a long and thin book adorned with our beloved crocodile. The cover is hard cardboard and when you open and shut it you might feel like he just snapped his jaws at you. After questioning what crocodile tears are, we are taken on an adventure to Egypt in a crocodile trapping How-To. Andres pen and ink styled illustrations in only black, green, and orange make this funny book nostalgic and unique. The wit is dry and the story is clever..."The Reading Ninja A Children's Book Council (CBC) Hot Off The Press selection
