We love it because:

  • Elvis is an utterly brilliant character, the kind of underdog you are rooting for from page one
  • The circus setting gives the illustrations so much room to shine, full colour, full of life, and gloriously expressive
  • It handles the "not fitting in" feeling with real lightness and warmth, no lectures, just a story that lands
  • The rhyme and rhythm make it a brilliant read-aloud, it has that quality where the child starts finishing your sentences by the third read
  • A square format that sits beautifully and looks wonderful on a bookshelf or as a gift

What's in the box:

  • 1 x Ice Cream Crocodile paperback

Great for:

  • Ages 3 and up
  • Any child who has ever felt like they did not quite fit the expected mould (so, most of them)
  • Fans of There's a Tiger on the Train looking for their next Mariesa Dulak fix
  • Read-aloud sessions, bedtime stories, and that golden window when they will sit still for exactly one more book
  • A lovely gift for birthdays, new siblings, starting nursery or school, or any moment that calls for a bit of extra encouragement
