A little boy is excited at the prospect of spending the night at his friend's house but worries how he'll get along without his teddy bear.

The Primm family finds Lyle, a performing crocodile, in the bathtub in their new apartment. To everyone's surprise all become great friends.

In a cumulative story, one animal after another asks to come in out of the winter cold to sleep in Bearsie Bear's big bed.

Lyle, the crocodile, thought everyone loved him until the day he received a hate note from an anonymous despiser.

Lyle the Crocodile leaves his happy home on East 88th Street with the Primms to go in search of his mother at the urging of his former employer Hector P. Valenti, star of stage and screen.

When Lyle the crocodile visits Mr. Primm's advertising office, he is almost recruited as the Krispie Krunchie Krackles cereal spokesperson.

Rather than take sides when his owners break up, a dog decides to strike out on his own and find a new home.

It's hard enough to adjust to a big move -- even harder when it's to New York City -- and harder still when there's a singing crocodile living in your attic! Josh Primm isn't making friends easily, so he's glad that Lyle is willing, but their menacing neighbor is determined to rid the neighborhood of the reptile.
