Popularized by Bobby Charles’ 1955 song ‘See you Later, Alligator’. “See ya later alligator” and “in a white ( sic) crocodile” was printed in the column “Teen Biz” by Suzanne Kramer in the Franklin (LA) Banner-Tribune on December 27, 1951.ī. “After a while, crocodile” also means “goodbye” and was often said in response. So, I'm leaving my honest thoughts.“See you later, alligator!” is 1950s teen slang for “goodbye.” I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's fun simply to gaze through the illustrations and see what Crocodile is up to next. The pride and energy of Venice comes to life as the fish markets, architecture, people and even a bit of the underwater world are presented. Young readers are introduced to Venice not only through Crocodile's tale, but with colorful illustrations. It's hard not to like him as he runs across true wonders, finds a place to fit in, and maybe escapes Napoleon's grip again. While Venice in all of it's richness is already a treat to discover, it's even more interesting from the eyes of a crocodile. He's not only a curious reptile, but humorous too.

Remarkably, through an amazing series of events that no one could command or order, this sequel fell under the care of Caitlyn Dlouhy at Atheneum and she found the incredible French artist Eric Puybaret, a long-time admirer of Fred Marcellino, and he embraced the idea of finishing the book Fred had started. ![]() I firmly believe that it was the work Fred had to do on Arrivederci that kept him alive for those years after his terrible diagnosis, but still he wasn't able to finish it before he went on. at the same time he was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. We closed the deal for Arrivederci Crocodile, the sequel to his bestselling I Crocodile, shortly thereafter. I became Fred's literary agent around 1999, a year after I left HarperCollins and opened Pippin Properties, Inc. Full disclosure: I am very personally attached to this book. ![]()
