What Time is it Mr. Crocodile?


This great children's story chronicles the day in the life of Mr. Croc. As the author Judy Sierra rhymes her way threw a wacky day (no rhyme intended) we follow Mr. Croc on a wacky adventure. this book takes me back to my childhood days, but not because mom or dad used to read it to me. It takes me back in time due to the name. At my school in Des Moines in P.E. class, we would play a game called "What time is it Mr Fox?" This game would consist of us kids screaming out "WHAT TIME IS IT MR. FOX!!!" The person who was it would then give us a time "2 o'clock!" We would then take 2 steps closer. As the tension mounted and we would get closer and closer to Mr Fox the nervousness would start to set in as we aited for the dreadful answer to our "What time is it Mr. Fox!!!!" question........"LUNCHTIME!!!!" the person who was it would then whirl around and chase us back to the other end of the gym, gobbling us up as he hurried across. If you were gobbled you became part of the Fox's pack. The good ole day's of being a kid!!
