[33] Reception [ edit ] Box office [ edit ] Robert Abele was less than positive with his review writing for The Wrap: "Did Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile look good in storyboards or sound fun in creative meetings? Because it's a certifiable mess on its webbed hind feet, teetering uncomfortably as both fanciful family comedy and live-action/animated musical, whether trying to make dumpster diving look whimsical (it isn't) or the tunes sound like anything but positivity-anthem-generator readouts."

I would read this aloud to young children, maybe Kindergarten through 2nd grade, for entertainment. There aren't many concepts to discuss or teach. It turns out that a little girl named Clover hates Lyle because all her friends love to play with him, but her mother doesn't allow her to play with Lyle. It's an obvious allegory for children hating things not because they're different -- children don't care -- but because their asshole parents teach them that "different" is synonymous with "wrong."

Despite all these efforts, the Primms come across a vandalized fence that reads in bright red letters: “Down with crocodiles” (p. 18). This is a sweet classic, published in 1962. As such, it has interesting historical aspects to it that we don't have anymore: milk is delivered in glass bottles, you must talk to the operator before making a telephone call, and the primary method of communication is via letter.

I had a pretty long, thoughtful review written out for this one, and then something happened with the app and I lost it! Anyway, I don’t have the energy to try to recreate it. This gist of it was…I don’t really love this book. Lyle, the crocodile, is a friendly and lovable creature who lives in a house on East 88th Street in New York City. Lyle is known for helping the Primm family with their chores and schoolwork and playing with Joshua and his friends in the neighborhood. Malhado, Carolina Sobral (September 27, 2021).

But Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile conjures up enough of the old showbiz charm to win you over. It's heart-warming, too – Lyle may be the singer, but he helps those around him find their voice, and sometimes that's exactly what we need: a singing crocodile to just be a good pal."
