In the books, Lyle is ultimately accepted in society because he's an intelligent creature that can make friends and express empathy; in the film, he's accepted in society because he wins a talent show. Grumps immediately sees that he had no reason to be afraid of him and becomes another of his friends. When the Primm family moves to New York City and into the house on East 88th Street, they are surprised to find a crocodile living in their attic. Everyone in the neighborhood loves Lyle the crocodile—except for a cranky neighbor and his nervous cat!Lyle enjoys helping with chores, playing with the neighborhood kids, and entertaining them with headstands and backflips. He has the body of a human-eating beast, but he does the dishes and arranges the flowers in the house. On the contrary, Lyle's singing talent is the main attraction of the film, and, in many scenes, the only reason why humans stop fearing him. My involvement with children’s books originated with some illustrations of children I carried in my art portfolio.

A live-action/animated feature film adaptation was released on October 7, 2022, by Sony Pictures and is directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon. This diminishes the character of Lyle, reducing his right to be part of society to his usefulness as an entertainer.Meet Lyle and Friends is a Level One I Can Read book, which means it's perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences. Everyone in the neighborhood loves Lyle the crocodile--except for a cranky neighbor and his nervous cat! Rejections followed but after a time a cheery encouragement arrived from Houghton Mifflin Company, and to my delight, a contract was offered for Lorenzo. With the publication of The House on East 88th Street in 1962, his Lyle, Lyle Crocodile series of books became a mainstay of children's literature and was adapted for both stage and screen.

So this is an adaptation that not only fails to understand the story it's adapting, but also reinforces the laziest clichés of American cinema. Grumps and his cat, Loretta, don't like crocodiles, and everything Lyle does to win them over seems to go wrong. So Lyle and Joshua are isolated in their own bubble for a good portion of the movie, at the cost of losing the comedic incongruity of Lyle doing ordinary things in the ordinary world, as happens in the books.

A cranky neighbor puts Lyle in the zoo but experiences a change of heart when the crocodile saves him from a fire. In the original books written by American author Bernard Waber, Lyle the friendly crocodile forms a friendship with the Primm family after some initial misgivings about hosting a top predator in their house.
