This board book brings in the famous song about Old MacDonald's farm with a twist. The pesky alligator keeps getting in the way of each animal's tune. I found the ending to be confusing.

What a cute book! With a song that everyone knows really well, it is very catchy. But wait...there is a twist...Croc is hungry...he sees the farm animals and he just can't finish the song without a snack! Each page has Croc trying to fill his tummy with any animal he can find. He isn't behaving until he hears the farm has doughnuts!! The song is now able to be finished, and Croc is finally able to fill his tummy...with doughnuts!
I absolutely adored this book! #NetGalley #Crocadoodledoo

Fun twist on Old Macdonald Had A Farm! My son enjoyed this one so much and I know that my students will love the funny version of an old classic. We fell in love with Croc and he made us laugh on every page. Excellent illustrations and overall just a wonderful read! Cannot wait to add this one to my classroom library. We can use this book in SO MANY WAYS! All I need is to pre-order the hard copy.

A very cute book for young readers sure to make them giggle. Incorporating "Old McDonald" with a twist is sure to have young readers joining in with each new character.

This book was super cute! The illustrations were really great. As a teacher, this would be so fun for students to read/listen to. I love that it is similiar to Old MacDonald and kids would have such a fun time realizing that as well as being able to predict what may happen on each page, with the repeating "snap, snap". This is perfect for elementary teachers to have in their classrooms and for young kids to have in their home libraries!

Cute book! A hungry crocodile starts singing Old McDonald around the farm except he gets the words just a little bit wrong ;)

Croc-a-doodle-doo! is a fun retake on the Old MacDonald's farm song but with a snap snap here and a snap snap there from a very naughty, hungry crocodile. This book is perfect for children for a fun singing story time, and kids will definitely join in telling that naughty Croc off! I loved the simpleness and fun this book evokes and can see it definitely being one children will want to choose again and again. I'm going to get this as a physical copy for my granddaughter as I know she will absolutely love it!

A crocodile visit's Old Mc Donald's farm and causes some mischief along the way. I can't wait to use this in Storytime with the kiddos at my library! Old McDonald is one of our favorite songs and the kids will love this silly tale on the traditional song.

This is a funny version of Old MacDonald’s Farm with a twist. The crocodile comes to the farm and want to sing and eat his way through the animals on the farm. I LOVE how the rooster rules in the end! I can see this is going to be a popular read aloud or sing along!!

Oh my goodness my daughter and I loved this! We were laughing and laughing and read it three times in a row! This will definitely be one I add to our shelves. The graphics were really colorful and fun. It's a sing-along with a twist.

Croc-a-doodle-doo! is a hilarious rendition of the Old McDonald song, but with doughnuts! What a fun addition to your young reader's library! Great illustrations, fun story, and definitely something your young ones will be singing along with while you read! It's not particularly educational, but any book that entertains kids and has them excited to read is worthwhile. This one will have them coming back again and again!

[Thanks Netgalley for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for my honest review on the book!]

This sing-a-long was absolutely adorable. It goes to the tune of Old McDonald but there just happens to be a crocodile on the farm running around and eating all the animals before you can finish each verse.

The pictures are simple and lovely, great for circle time in daycare or school since the kids can sing the song and you can interrupt!

Don't worry if this sounds scary for little ears! It's done in a funny manner and does have a happy ending when the farm is saved by the rooster.

I read this book with my four year old and he thought it was absolutely hilarious! He requested I read it over and over again. I’m his words, “this book is really, really funny.” I thought the story was a bit pointless, but not every child’s book has to have a point to be great. This book will definitely be a new favorite in our house.

What a cute children’s book. I read it to my granddaughter and she love it. Not gonna lie she made me read it 10 times and made me actually sing the song 😳. Congratulations on such a five star children’s book!! 🥰

My toddler loved the sing-along and twists of “Croc-a-doodle doo”. This is a cute parody book on a familiar children’s song.

Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This cute parody of the Old MacDonald song would be a good read aloud for an adult reading to a child. As a story time presenter, It would be fun to act the story out for the audience using a crocodile puppet. Farm story time themes are so popular this book would be a suitable addition to a library collection.

This fun and familiar story presents a new twist when a hungry crocodile finds himself on McDonald's farm. The colorful, hilarious illustrations and the additional commentary by a sassy rooster make this story a fun one to sing and share with the little ones in your life.

This sing-along book had a little twist which was rather interesting. Imagine a crocodile on a farm, a singing one at that. On hearing the cockerel sing, he suddenly had a great thought. One for sure, it was funny.
