Cornelius

About Cornelius

The beloved fable about being yourself, from four-time Caldecott Honor-winner Leo Lionni, is now available in a board book format!

Cornelius isn’t like other crocodiles. He likes to walk upright and do tricks that no other crocodile can! But his friends are not impressed. “So what?” they say when he demonstrates standing on his head or hanging from his tail.

Cornelius is a bit disappointed at first…but things aren’t always what they seem. And life on the riverbeach is about to undergo some big changes.

Children will see themselves in Cornelius while reading this tale of a crocodile who marches to the beat of his own drum.
