Description

Celebrate the magic of moms on Mother's Day or any day with everyone’s favorite crocodile, Lyle! Lyle leaves his happy home with the Primms to search for his long-lost mother in this 50th anniversary edition paperback edition of Lyle Finds His Mother.

Lyle is quite happy living with the Primms on East 88th Street. Then Hector P. Valenti, struggling star of stage and screen, lures him away with promises of finding his long-lost mother. When Lyle imagines his perfect mother, she looks a lot like Mrs. Primm! But he can't stop wondering about his crocodile mother.

This Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile story exudes all of the charm and wit for which the series is loved, along with a lovely message about the joys of family, biological or found.

Praise for Lyle Finds His Mother

"Whimsically told and illustrated in the style of the previous Lyle books, it's a lot of fun to read aloud." — School Library Journal (starred review)
