I thought this book was pretty funny. It is a collection from a comic strip that typically appears in newspapers. I've read the strip before and enjoyed it quite a bit. All of the characters are animals who live in the same neighborhood. The crocs might just be my favorite characters from it.
The characters aren't given an introduction though, so someone who isn't familiar with them might have a harder time getting into the book. There isn't a lot that the reader needs to know about these characters, but I wouldn't recommend this book to someone new to the series.
Not all of the strips feature the crocs. This is okay because the other characters add some diversity to the book. The crocs aren't very smart, and spend a lot of energy trying to figure out how to eat their zebra neighbor. A lot of the humor is at the expense of characters that aren't very bright, which can get a little old.
There are better collections out there, but fans of the series should enjoy it.
