The House on East 88th Street

Meet Lyle the Crocodile in this first book of Bernard Waber's much-loved Lyle series.

Funny, talented and always friendly, Lyle is the most endearing of crocodiles, as the New York Times described in him in LOVABLE LYLE: "Ordinarily I don't like crocodiles. They're reptilian and slithery and bumpety all over....But I like Lyle. He's of a different stripe - urbane, cosmopolitan, one of the family, a charmer."
