The Brand New Creature
Format: Hardback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Join a little girl as she takes an animal-filled journey in search of a marvelous creature: a crocodile! There's only one problem--she has no idea what it looks like. But she's bored with her chickens that just strut and peck, and the cat who only stretches out and sleeps, so she goes out anyway, in the bright sun and across the dusty ground baked hard and hot. First she spots something in the trees, with a long scaly body and beautiful colors. Oh, no: crocodiles don't slide and slither like that. Then she comes upon a tall, spotted animal, with a long, long neck. Could it be? Unfortunately, not. One by one she meets the beasts of the jungle: a proud, golden animal with a brown mane; a gangly, pink-legged creature covered with black and white feathers; a poor ugly brute with an odd-looking snout; and an enormous gray animal with a very long nose. Still--no crocodile. Then, suddenly, there's a shiny white egg, and it opens with a crack....Exquisite illustrations, painted in the softest colors on hand-crafted paper, capture the magic of this simple tale. 32 pages (all in color), 8 3/4 x 10 1/2.
