This book was different from the other books that I read by Tomie. It was about a crocodile and a bird. At the beginning his mother tells him that they have to go to the grocery store to get a toothbrush. When I think of a toothbrush I think of a plastic stick with little bristles at the end but the crocodile toothbrushes are little birds that talk. They became best friends and they were there for each other through all their troubles. It was a story of friendship and how they do anything for each other. I also think it was a book about diversity because you don't always have to be friends with people that are the same as you but rather the best friends you can make are the most different from you. I think that would be something important that I would talk to my class about and ask their feed back because I think there are a lot of interpretations. The story had a beginning, middle and end and there was an antagonist and protagonists. I think that the middle-end of the book was a little unrelated to the beginning and I wish there would have been a smoother transition from the beginning to the end. This book had a mother figure and no one else for Bill to turn to so I think it would be a good book for single parent families and how there is other people/things out there to turn to to make relationships but the parent is always there to turn to and make proud. There is also other Bill and Pete books that Tomie has written, which I would like to read for comparison.
