My Review:
I find crocodiles to be fascinating. The only time I've ever seen one is at a zoo, so I'm not sure that counts. After A While Crocodile: Alexa's Diary is a fictional portrayel of a real program that allowed Costa Rican children to raise American crocodiles in their classroom. The story tells of a girl named Alexa who helps raise a crocodile until it is able to be released into the wild. When reading it, kids will learn foreign words and their definitions. They will also learn statistics about crocodiles and caiman. The pictures show both colored illustrations and real photos. The book is interesting and educational.
The "For Creative Minds" section in the back of the book further educates with the differences between alligators, crocodiles, and caiman. It also explains the differences between a child's teeth and a crocodile's teeth. Furthermore, there's information on crocodile conservation and a story about Dr. Brady Barr, the only person that has ever captured all 24 species of croc in the wild.
After A While Crocodile: Alexa's Diary is a Fall 2016 release from Arbordale Publishing.
One person will win After A While Crocodile: Alexa's Diary children's book.

This looks like a fun book!
I saw some when we went to one of the Disney parks in Florida as a kid.
Have I ever! When doing my training for a seaplane rating to add to my pilot license, I almost was going to land on top of one and my instructor had to grab the yoke to pull back giving us more time to fly over the critter.
I haven't seen crocodiles in their natural habitat.
Ive never seen one except at the zoos. This sounds like a really interesting book.Thank you for the chance :)
I have seen alligators while living in Florida!
No way!
No, I have never seen a crocodile outside of a zoo. I think I would be terrified.
I have not seen any.
I have not seen a crocodile in the wild only the zoo.
Yes, they are all over in FL
I live in Florida so alligators and crocodiles are fairly commonplace. Once we had a four foot gator take up residence in our back pond for a couple of weeks. We didn't shed any crocodile tears when that one moved on!

I've seen alligators but not crocodiles.
Thankfully, we don't have crocodiles in the mountains. So we've never seen one in real life.
Nope I live in Michigan! :) My kids ask all the time about them though! :)
I saw a young crocodile at a fair. It had it's mouth taped and people got to pat it. It was very agitated and was thrashing around. Poor thing!
I haven't seen a crocodile in real life before.
