Why, oh why, am I a crocodile?: A fun and fabulous, rhyming, bedtime story about a crocodile with low self-esteem.

A crocodile with low-self esteem longs to be anything but herself. As she walks along, she wishes she were a beautiful parrot, an elegant giraffe, a majestic lion or a swanky snake. Why, oh why, am I a crocodile? she continuously asks herself. As she begins to sob uncontrollably, a blind monkey swings into her life. After she’s finished reeling off her ailments, he gives her some valuable advice: to love yourself for who you are. It is only when he introduces her to some newfound friends: a parrot who can’t blend in, a giraffe who hates being tall and thin, a lion that wishes he wasn’t so scary and a snake who wants to be hairy, she realises that things aren’t always as they first appear.
