After a While, Crocodile

CBC Hot of The Press August 2024 Pick

With art and text by Brad Sneed, this lift-the-flap picture book turns a mother and daughter into different animals as they go through their morning routine

Sneed’s hilarious story goes beyond the typical “After a while, crocodile!” call-and-response and introduces kids to wordplay, rhyming, and obscure animals. With three pages of fun facts about all the animals featured in the book, After a While, Crocodile is both interactive and educational.
