A beloved classic read-aloud--now a major motion picture! Lyle the crocodile lives in a house on East 88th Street in New York City.

Mr. Grumps and his cat, Loretta, don't like crocodiles, and everything Lyle does to win them over seems to go wrong. It will take all of Lyle's charm--and courage--to reveal the hero, and friend, behind the big, crocodile smile. |
