Cover Reveal: CROCODILES NEED KISSES TOO
We are very excited to reveal the cover of CROCODILES NEED KISSES TOO by Rebecca Colby and illustrated by Penelope Dullaghan (Viking/ Penguin Random House) releasing on April 7, 2020.
About the Book
Everyone needs hugs and love in this offbeat, upbeat ode to the not-so-cuddly--and yet still sweet and beloved!
Despite their lumpy, bumpy hide,
toothy mouths stretched open wide,
just like me and just like you,
crocodiles need kisses too.
Fun-to-read-aloud, rhyming text describes prickly porcupines, roaring tigers, and slithery snakes--not the most cuddly creatures, but still worthy of hugs and snuggles from their mamas! With a luscious and colorful palette, Crocodiles Need Kisses Too shows that animals (and children) don't have to be warm and fuzzy to be totally lovable.
