Dear Reader,
Noah Laythe, my 7 year old son wrote his first book titled “Crocodiles” (also in PDF 7.3 MB) in first grade. I can tell you how proud I was when he presented me with this little treasure. Excited about his creation, the idea of placing his book on the internet for the world to read immediately came to mind. Some time later, still discussing his book with me, Noah expressed the idea in his self sufficient way, “Daddy, do you think someone would pay to read my book so I could earn money for college?” Encouraged by his enthusiasm, I knew that I would have to deliver and show him that technology was his to master and he could achieve his objective.
Thus, I present to you Noah Laythe’s first book, “Crocodiles” (also in PDF 7.3 MB). Written and illustrated by Noah.
I hope you enjoy his book as much as I have and feel free to support his objective to raise money for college. Checks for deposit in his personal bank account can be written to Noah Laythe. Please email me at NormanLaythe@hotmail.com for the mailing address. A paypal account has been setup as well.

Thank you for supporting my son’s ambitions!
Noah’s Proud Dad

You’re such a great author. Very informative text and your illustrations are very well thought out. It’s a shame you can’t have one as a pet. Wouldn’t that be really cool? Keep up the good work, Noah. Looking forward to the next one.

Excellent book Noah and well written. Loved the “No Pet” picture. How about American alligators for your next book? They live in swampland in Florida and it would be great to learn about the differences between crocodiles and alligators. Look forward to your next book!
