A family of birds stumble across an egg in the bush and take it home with them. The family are thrilled when a little crocodile hatches from the egg, but the other animals are a little confused. ' Why do you keep him? ' they ask. ' Is it because he' s helpful? ' ' He is helpful,' replies the family, ' but that' s not why we keep him. ' As Croccy gets bigger, the bush animals become more confused. ' Is it because he' s beautiful? Is it because he' s fun? Is it because he makes a great coat rack? Is that it? Is that why you keep him? ' Croccy is beautiful, and he is fun, and he does make a great coat rack. But that' s not why the family keep him. They keep Croccy because he belongs with them. And that' s that. A Crocodile in the Family is a beautiful picture book with a whole lot of heart about family in all its shapes and sizes. It' s the perfect bedtime read for kids aged 3+.
