A New York Times Best Illustrated Book of 1956
"As a design object, the physical book package is perfection."Kirkus Review
"Crocodile Tears by the late, great French satirist and cartoonist André François from Enchanted Lion Books is a rarity that recently was rereleased along with François illustrations of Nelly Stéfanes Roland and Milton and Shirley Glasers If Apples Had Teeth-each a beautifully recreated version of the original, back in print for the first time in almost 60 years."The Daily Heller
"The famed graphic designer Andre Francois gives us a perfectly composed piece of childrens literature in the most perfect packaging youve ever seen. Long and thin is a box decorated to look like its come to you by post, containing a long and thin book adorned with our beloved crocodile. The cover is hard cardboard and when you open and shut it you might feel like he just snapped his jaws at you. After questioning what crocodile tears are, we are taken on an adventure to Egypt in a crocodile trapping How-To. Andres pen and ink styled illustrations in only black, green, and orange make this funny book nostalgic and unique. The wit is dry and the story is clever..."The Reading Ninja
