great book! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I just purchased this title for my 4 year old daughter, and she (and I) really love it!!! The title of the book doesn't really grab you but it's a sweet story about how the neighbor Mr Grumps really doesn't like Lyle, has him banished to the zoo, and then Lyle ends up saving Mr Grumps. I really like the characters in this series because they remind me of real life people that your kids will have to deal with at some point or another. My daughter was totally engaged.

A Book to Remember 5 out of 5 stars.

I am now 21 years old and I can still remember the opening line to this tape. The Lyle books are wonderful for children and this tape is a great way to put your child to sleep. The Lyle books are truly one of my greatest childhood memories!

i love lyle 5 out of 5 stars.

I don't get it. My three-and-a-half-year-old son doesn't like it. It lacks the sweetness and focus of "Corduroy" or "The Snowy Day." It changes scene too often (and not in a good way, like Harold and the Purple Crayon). And the characters are unkind to each other until the very end. I bought this book based on good reviews, but without having read it myself. My mistake. I think this is not a great book for little kids to read, and I won't read it again with my son. Very disappointing.

Editorial Review:

A cranky neighbor puts Lyle in the zoo but experiences a change of heart when the crocodile saves him from a fire.

A child's world through a crocodile's eyes 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Anyone who has ever had a birthday party as a child will be swept back to the excitement, the fears and the adventure of their first parties through the eyes of Lyle the Crocodile. Endearing and touching, any child (or adult) will lose themselves in this book. I write from memory-my mother read the Lyle books to me when I was four years old and they have stayed alive for me ever since. My sisters and myself are now buying them for our families.

Old Time Favorite 5 out of 5 stars.

This was a book I had, read to my children, and wanted to read to my grandson. Book was in excellent condition.

Editorial Review:

Mrs. Primm fears Lyle the crocodile is terribly sick, when in reality he's just "green" over Joshua's birthday party.

I don't recommend this book. 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I saw this book on my parents' bookshelf, so I happily picked it up to read it to my 3-yr old son. Big mistake. The book could best be described as a period piece that, while charmingly illustrated, goes to lengths to show the inherent cruelty of prejudice. Lyle encounters a girl who hates him and leaves him vicious hate mail. In the end, Lyle saves her life and she grows to understand and love him. My problem with the book is two-fold: First, the hatred she feels for Lyle is way over the top for my son to hear. It's just way too ugly for him to comprehend at this age. Second, I have a problem with the victim having to prove himself to the hater. It seems to me that the victim shouldn't have to redeem himself or prove his worth in any way. The entire premise is that people who are hated need to find a way to be loved and that's just wrong. It's the haters who need to change. The book's lesson is not about tolerance; it's about appeasement.

Editorial Review:

Lyle is distraught to learn he has an enemy and tries to be an even more lovable crocodile than he was before.

Editorial Review:

Christmas is an especially festive time for everyone"s favorite crocodile, Lyle. Lyle loves Bird and Loretta the cat, who live with Mr. Grumps. He loves East 88th Street, the house he shares with the Primms and his mother. Lyle"s only problem is that he can"t decide what he wants for Christmas. However, not everyone is filled with holiday cheer. Mr. Grumps has the holiday blahs—so much so that even his adored cat, Loretta, has had it with miserable Mr. Grumps. And then, just a few days before Christmas Loretta disappears and the entire neighborhood joins Mr. Grumps in the hunt for the lost cat. Will he be able to find Loretta before Christmas and restore the holiday cheer to East 88th Street?

We Love Lyle 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This is our first (and favorite) Lyle book. It is a cute story, enjoyable for the whole family. Of course, it has a happy ending, and Lyle is the hero. Although it is rather long, my 2 1/2 year old has memorized it, and knows if I miss a word. I highly recommend it. We can't wait to get started with the other Lyle books, and hope that they are as good.

Editorial Review:

When Lyle the Crocodile visits Mr. Primm's advertising office, he has tons of fun and makes lots of friends. He also gets Mr. Primm fired. However, Lyle manages to save Mr. Primm's career when he rescues the boss, Mr. Bigg, from the local haunted house.

I'll Pass on this one 1 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

We love the Lyle books, but Lyle Finds His Mother takes a strange, cruel turn. For his own selfish reasons, Hector does something manipulative and mean, even for Hector. But what could be an opportunity for a lesson ends with a strange twist; everything turns out great because of what Hector did. There are no consequenses, he never admits what he did or apologizes, and nobody even finds out it was all a lie. It's an awful message for children, and I don't know what Waber was thinking with this one.

lyle finds his mother 5 out of 5 stars.

lyle loved the Primms and they in return. Lyle is so happy with them that he had not given thought to his own mother, until someone brought the subject up.

Editorial Review:

Lyle leaves his happy home with the Primms on East 88th Street to search for his mother, at the urging of his former employer, Hector P. Valenti, star of stage and screen.

I have loved Lyle since my own preschool days, and was delighted to find another title in the series that I had missed. Lyle would make a great friend for anyone!
