For a second grade class, I will use a book entitled "Counting Crocodiles" written by Judy Sierra and Will Hillenbrand. The book is as simple as is sounds, a monkey counts crocodiles in the Sillabobble Sea to see if there are more crocodiles in the sea or monkeys on the island.

Then, I will tell them that they

Nonetheless, this approach is not without its flaws, as was evidenced by cases such as Hogan v Koala Dundee Pty Ltd. In this case, the defendants had used images extracted from the plaintiffs’ film, ‘Crocodile Dundee’, and, specifically, had used the name ‘Dundee’ on their merchandise without the defendant’s consent.
