Princess Cora has parents that want her to be the best princess ever. As a result they hover over her life, making sure that every moment is spent in the "productive" pursuit of excellence. Then one day Cora receives a crocodile from her Fairy Godmother. He is very intelligent. He decides that that best way to help Cora is to switch places with her. For a day he goes to the geography and fencing lessons, while Cora has the chance to go outside to play. This book is border-line chapter book and picture book. We put it in our picture book section, but it could have gone in the Intermediates as well. This is also on our Newbery list. I am not sure why. It was a cute story and all, well written with a good message, but it certainly was not at the level of some of the other books I have read this year. (72 p. 2017)
