Lyle Crocodile is a favourite character who will undoubtedly pop up here again in future. But for today I wanted to share the very first, very best Lyle book. It's in Bernard Waber's "The House on East 88th Street" (1962) that we first meet the Primms, and watch as they discover the performing alligator living in their new house, who will become a beloved member of their family--well, once the initial alarm has passed!! We've loved Lyle for two generations in my family, and I hope you find him as charming as we do! ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ #thehouseoneast88thstreet #lylelylecrocodile #lylecrocodile #bernardwaber #crocodilebooks #booksaboutfamily #storytime #childhoodunplugged #childrensbookseries #childrensbooks #booklove #bookcollection #readalouds #readaloudrevival #readaloudbooks #oldbooks #oldchildrensbooks #picturebooks #mustread #kidsbookswelove #kidsbookshelf #readingwithkids #picturebooksofinstagram #vintagechildrensbook #vintagepicturebook #bestbooksforkids #whattoreadtoyourkids #lifelongreaders #littlebookworm #bookrecommendation https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz56hCjHE7X/?igshid=wkm1nxz6f21s
