With piquant humor in both words and pictures, author/illustrator Viviane Schwarz (There Are Cats in This Book, and There Are No Cats in This Book) celebrates the bonds of friendship through a treasure-seeking little girl named Anna, and Crocodile, her scaly, green bestie. Finding a fortune in buried gold will be "dangerous and difficult," and take a great deal of planning, but that's so much the better, the two friends agree. Eager to go wherever imagination takes them, the friends draw their own X-marks-the-spot treasure map and follow it into an undersea adventure of magical proportion. Schwarz's illustrations—pencil, crayon and watercolor —are a quirky delight.
