Description

Gorgeously illustrated, this is the story of a crocodile and a crocodile bird. These animals exist in a symbiotic relationship. Crocodile birds pick leeches and lice from the crocodile's skin and cry out whenever they see danger. In this story, Winston is a patient crocodile, George is a prankster, and their story is both sweet and dramatic.
John Miller spent much of his youth tramping about the woods and swamps of Morris County, New Jersey. Later, these adventures inspired his children's books and articles.
Giuliano Cucco was an artist and illustrator. He and his wife were killed in a traffic accident in Rome in 2006. He is survived by a son and two grandchildren.

Reviews

"[Guiliano] Cucco's illustrations are superb. They have a wonderful grace of line combined with bright tropical colors that pop on the page...A humorous and dramatic look at an unusual friendship, one only wishes that Winston & George could go on more adventures together."--Waking Brain Cells
