The Very Clever Crocodile

By Jack Tickle

Its been a while since I’ve done one of these but one of my best friends ( @gl1tch-y ) inspired me to make some more!💗📖

This story is one of my childhood favorites! The art in it is some of the best G3 has to offer, and it’s such a whimsical, magical tale 🥹 I’m so lucky to have gotten to grow up reading this and having it read to me! Now I get to share it with all of you ❤️

If you’ve watched Dancing in the Clouds, you may catch a few notable similarities and differences in this story. The story of Star Catcher meeting the Ponyville ponies is told about three or four different ways across MLP media, this one being my favorite printed version. Another version of this story, an I-Can-Read book called Belle of the Ball, focuses only on the first part of this book’s story, with Star Catcher meeting Twinkle Twirl and magically granting her a dress for he Best Friends’ Ball. But in the animated version of this story, we never see Star Catcher meet Twinkle Twirl first at all! Or if it does happen, it’s off-screen and not mentioned, which would make sense with how Twinkle Twirl promised not to tell, though I’m not sure that was intentional by the writers. There may also be one more telling of this story in an MLP annual, though I’d have to double-check.

The DMC novels will always be my absolute favorite part of the DMC franchise! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve reread them! If we do not get DMC 6, I hope we get an animated film adaptation of the first novel with Kamiya and Itsuno as directors!

I was curious if there were any read aloud videos of the first novel on YouTube and luckily I found this guy’s channel!

He does an amazing job voicing Dante, Grue, Gilver, and even Nell! Please check out his channel! Especially those who haven’t read the first novel!!!

first storytime, narrated by Cici! cuddle up with your stuffies and get comfy, because today we’re reading…

Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go To Sleep,

by Joyce Dunbar and Debi Gliori.

I can’t believe I forgot this because when it happened today I had to take a moment and lower the book and say overly loudly to some poor fourth graders:

“WHAT DID PROFESSOR LUPIN JUST CALL SIRIUS BLACK?”

Because I had already pointed out to them from the moment he enters the Shack, Remus calls Sirius, Sirius. Not Black, not Sirius Black. Sirius.

Would you like to know when he calls him Padfoot???

Here:

“Forgive me, Remus,” said Black.

“Not at all, Padfoot, old friend,” said Lupin, who was now rolling up his sleeves. “And will you, in turn, forgive me for believing you were the spy?”

“Of course,” said Black, and the ghost of a grin flitted across his gaunt face.

i have said it on other platforms but i will say it here because buds are already asking:
