SuitabookLos cocodrilos copiones
Bedford, David
- Reading
- Pause when the young crocodile is copied or leaves the group. Invite the reader to predict whether being alone will help, then compare that prediction with his later discovery about friendship.
- Themes
- Independence and companionship: The protagonist’s withdrawal leads to a discovery about the value of companionship, while the precise resolution and the other crocodiles’ response remain unclear. The book leaves its stance open to more than one reading.
- Imitation and social boundaries: The book addresses imitation and social boundaries; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The crocodiles’ crowding and imitation create the main social tension. The protagonist’s choice to go off alone is part of the story, though the emotional intensity and detail of these moments are not clear.
