在鱷魚當日的計劃表中,猴子到底扮演什麼樣的角色呢?牠們最後會變成鱷魚的晚餐嗎?適合6歲以上兒童閱讀。By the light of the moon, Mr. Crocodile pecks away on a typewriter, preparing a list of "Things to Do Tomorrow." Kids may be disappointed to see crocodiles doing the same boring stuff humans do: waking up, eating breakfast, shopping, taking a bath. But the list takes on a decidedly reptilian flavor at four, five, and six o'clock, when it is revealed that Mr. Crocodile intends to catch, cook, and eat "those pesky monkeys" that have been annoying him. Cushman's humorous double-page spreads show the croc gamely trying to follow his agenda despite the quintet of mischievous monkeys, who start each hour by teasingly chanting, "What TIME is it, Mr. Crocodile?" Sierra's bouncy rhyming text will make this a fun read-aloud, and the clocks that appear prominently in every spread can be used to introduce or reinforce the concepts of time and following a schedule.
