Princess Cora and the Crocodile

A Newbery Medalist and a Caldecott Medalist join forces to give an overscheduled princess a day off and a deliciously wicked crocodile a day on. Princess Cora is sick of boring lessons. Shes sick of running in circles around the dungeon gym. Shes sick, sick, sickof taking three baths a day. And her parents wont let her have a dog. But when she writes to her fairy godmother for help, she doesnt expect that help to come in the form of a crocodilea crocodile who does not behave properly. With perfectly paced dry comedy, childrens book luminaries Laura Amy Schlitz and Brian Floca send Princess Cora on a delightful outdoor adventure climbing trees! getting dirty! having fun! while her alter ego wreaks utter havoc inside the castle, obliging one pair of royal helicopter parents to reconsider their ways.
