"A warm ode to the unplanned days of summer. Friends of George and Martha or Frog and Toad will read these stories over and over." - Kirkus Reviews

Morris the crocodile and his best friend, Billy, a tortoise, like nothing better than messing around at the waterhole with their animal friends. In five amusing stories, Morris and company do just what kids do during a hot summer. By turns wry and laugh-out-loud funny, Kate Greenaway Medal winner Bob Graham s whimsical waterhole gang pays tribute to the merriment and mishaps of young friendships everywhere.

It's the little things that matter in this warm ode to the unplanned days of summer. Friends of George and Martha or Frog and Toad will read these connected stories over and over.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Generous white space and a large font create a bridge to longer chapter books for beginning readers. An amusing summertime romp.
--School Library Journal (starred review)

The bursting scenes cheerfully convey the happy neighborhood bustle, and the sprightly lines and soft watercolor washes create a cozy and companionable crew. . . . This will provide a refreshing early chapter read or sequential readaloud.
