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.

When the Primm family moves into the house on East 88th street, they discover a very unusual resident already there.

Lyle is perfectly happy living with the Primms on East 88th St. until irritable Mr. Grumps next door changes all that.

Lyle is distraught to learn he has an enemy and tries to be an even more lovable crocodile than he was before.

What is courage? Certainly it takes courage for a firefighter to rescue someone trapped in a burning building, but there are many other kinds of courage too. Everyday kinds that normal, ordinary people exhibit all the time, like “being the first to make up after an argument,” or “going to bed without a nightlight.” Bernard Waber explores the many varied kinds of courage and celebrates the moments, big and small, that bring out the hero in each of us.
