Synopsis

A scrawny little crocodile wants the opportunity to bite off more than he can chew. He's tired of bananas; today he'd like to eat a child. But he's smaller than he thinks, and the little girl he chooses for his first meal puts him in his place--she picks him up and tickles his tummy! The little crocodile is going to have to eat a lot of bananas and grow a lot bigger before he can add children to his menu! Simple yet hilarious artwork brings this droll story to life.

About this title

Review:

Children will love it! (Nursery World)

Great fun and an obvious read aloud (Books for Keeps)

Bringing a welcome touch of dry Gallic humour to the sometimes-too-worthy picture book market... the rhythmic repetition of this naughty catchphrase is a joy to read aloud...An instant favourite! (Carousel)

An amusing story with wonderfully expressive illustrations (The Independent)

The familiar parental challenge of having a fussy eater is the focus of this funny tale...a hilarious take on fussy eating (Junior Resources)

I love books with a wicked glint in their eye...a deliciously naughty idea...Dorothee de Monfried's illustrations meld perfectly with the text. Both create a glorious world that you'll wish you were a part of. (The Bookbag)

The appetizing mixture of domestic breakfast concerns and fierce child-eating monsters will leave children hungry for more. "I'd really like to read that book," parents may hear them say. (Publishers Weekly)

Book Description:

A humorous and irreverent story about a hungry little crocodile!
