THE HOUSE ON EAST 88TH STREET

THE HOUSE ON EAST 88TH STREET by Bernard Waber

With Lyle, Lyle Crocodile hitting theaters in the next week, I thought it would be timely to share a blast from my past, the first book in the Lyle series, The House on East 88th Street. I loved (and still do) this story!

When the Primms move into their home on East 88th Street, the last thing they expected to find was a crocodile in the bathtub. At first they think they are in trouble, but after a mystery man delivers a note introducing them to Lyle, he quickly becomes a cherished family member. Time passes until one day the mystery man shows up to claim his crocodile. Can the Primms go back to life without Lyle and vice versa?

This sweet book stretches the imagination to include crocodiles. After reading it you'll wish for a Lyle as well! Here's hoping Hollywood doesn't mess up the movie!
