Based on the best-selling children’s book, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is a brand-new family film that’s full of funny moments and fabulous tunes. When the Primm family moves to New York City, their young son Josh struggles to adapt to his new school and new friends. All that changes when he discovers Lyle – a singing crocodile who loves baths, caviar and music – living in the attic of his new home! Lyle has been left there by his owner, Hector P Valenti. Hector had to travel and leave Lyle behind, but he promised to return and left Lyle with a music player with all of the croc’s favourite songs. Josh and Lyle soon become best pals, but then Lyle’s lifestyle is threatened by their neighbour, Mr Grumps! The Primm family must join with Hector to show the world that family can come from the most unexpected places. And that there’s nothing wrong with a big singing crocodile with an even bigger personality!

You can see ‘Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile’ in UK and Ireland cinemas now. The film is rated PG, which stands for parental guidance. Parents or carers can read more about this rating at bbfc.co.uk before deciding if it’s suitable for their family.

How would you react if you found a crocodile living in your house? I’d run for it! Then I’d try to find an expert reptile handler who could take it away. Not Josh, though, he makes friends with the crooning crocodile and convinces his family that Lyle is safe to be around. Lyle changes Josh’s world, leading him to say to his parents, ‘Do you realise how different things have been since I met him? He’s changed everything for me – not just for me, but for you too!’

Lots of us could do with a Lyle in our lives. Now I’m not comparing Jesus to a singing reptile, but millions of people would say that making friends with Jesus changed their lives big time. The thought of following Jesus can be scary, but I promise you there’s nothing to be frightened of. Maybe it’s time for you to make friends with Jesus.

God is a Mega Moulder

says Cara Mott

Have you ever tried to make pottery? I’m guessing you haven’t, because not many people have a pottery wheel lying around! However, you probably have used air-dry clay or Play-Doh before.

The best thing about air-dry clay or Play-Doh is that you can make whatever you want with it. All you need is a bit of imagination. And if you make any mistakes, you can start again and even make something completely different. Just like the potter in this week’s Bible cartoon who reshaped the pot he was making.

Have you ever heard the song ‘The Potter’s Hand’? It’s all about how God is like a potter and can shape and mould us into whatever he needs us to be. And that’s exactly what is happening in this week’s Bible cartoon. God wants to remould the people of Israel so that they start living better lives.

Even today, God can remould any of us to make us better versions of ourselves – you might call him a mega moulder! I know that, because I’ve asked him to help change me before. I don’t mean physically change the way I look. Through prayer I’ve asked him to help me be a more positive or less shy person. I’ve even asked him to help me be less grumpy when I’ve not had enough sleep!

God can mould you into whatever person you want to be too. Just ask him to help with the things you want to be better at and see what happens!
