About This Book

The Enormous Crocodile decides that he wants a nice juicy child for lunch, horrifying the other animals in the jungle — his friend, the Notsobig One; Humpy-Rumpy, the hippopotamus; Trunky, the elephant; Muggle-Wump, the monkey; and the Roly-Poly Bird.  The Enormous Crocodile has got the disguises and clever tricks to catch them — or so he thinks.

Even though the Enormous Crocodile may be wicked and cunning, the other animals in the jungle know just how to foil his plans. The hungry Enormous Crocodile learns a lesson he won't soon forget when the animals in the jungle join together to put an end to his nasty schemes. In the end, the Enormous Crocodile gets exactly what he deserves.
