Synopsis
Sylvester is a big tough croc. So is his rival, Arnold. They wear tough-croc shirts, tough-croc vests, and tough-croc boots. They put on their ugliest tough-croc faces when they bully the other animals in the swamp. But they are no match for Betty the Bad, who shows up one day and sends them flying into the deepest, boggiest hole in the swamp. Will Sylvester and Arnold have to find a new home? This is a satisfying tale of three bullies who ultimately learn that being the "bigger croc" sometimes means lending a helping claw when it's needed most.

From Booklist
Sylvester and Arnold are crocodile bullies with much in common. They both are large, disgruntled, and mean to the smaller animals that live near the swamp. The two potential foes meet by accident when they literally run into each other one day. Since each wants to be the scariest croc in the swamp, they begin to fight until an even bigger crocodile appears. “I’m called Betty,” she roars. “Betty the Bad!” How the two adversaries work together, though unintentionally, to save themselves from Betty—and also save face—makes for an animated read-aloud. Children will enjoy how Sylvester, Arnold, and Betty all get a deserved comeuppance and take note of the fact that there’s always a bigger and badder bully out there, so it makes sense to acquire friends instead of enemies. Pair this with Keiko Kasza’s The Rat and the Tiger (2007) for another entertaining tale of bullying, rude awakenings, and friendship. Preschool-Grade 1. --Maryann Owen
