I, CROCODILE

What’s a crocodile to do when he’s transported to Paris and then left without food? Why, find his own way, of course, to dinner, lunch, and breakfast. Tim Curry’s narration of I, Crocodile, is exemplary--a glorious example of the perfect melding of all the parts of an audio recording. The musical background is just right; the illustrations and text complement each other perfectly. Curry’s low British accent, exacting elocution, and perfect pacing combine for the ultimate listening experience. The inflection in Curry’s voice, added to the irony and sarcasm, creates a pompous yet lovable crocodile. Children will enjoy this for the story and the illustrations; adults will love it for the humor. An absolute gem! W.L.S. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 02]
