by Tomi de Paola, Putnam and Grosset, 1978
Meet William Everett Crocodile, who spells his name "Bill". Meet Pete, Bill's best bird friend and trusty "toothbrush". Together, they foil a crocodile-hunting Bad Guy, making life safer along the River Nile in his wonderfully funny tale of two memorable friends. Suggested for grades K-2.
I love Bill and Pete! It has a fun and simple message about friendship and being yourself and cute illustrations.
This book is special to me because I specifically remember Mrs. Prachyl, my elementary school librarian reading, it to my class in 2nd grade. Every time I see this title it makes me think about my time in the library as a child, and makes me wonder what my students will remember about me someday. We'll see...
Look for it in the E picture book section at call number E DEP.
