Advantages: Its a great unique story with really original artwork kids will love it

Disadvantages: maybe a little scary for really young kids

This is a great book but it used to scare me as a small child of around 3, but as i got older i learned to really appreciate it.

It was first published in 1978 written by Roald Dahl one of my favorite children's authors when i was a kid ,and the book was illustrated by Quentin Blake i always really liked his artwork on children's books though it was quite a unique style.

The story is about a giant horrible crocodile who tries to trick children so that he can eat them, for instance in one case he pretends to be an animal on a meri go round so that a child will sit on him and he can eat them. Luckily though all the other animals in the forest are always close at hand to save the day and warn the children about the dastardly crocs ambitions.

It is a very happy ending for the children but not for the enormous crocodile though as the big strong elephant comes along and swings the reptile round and round with his trunk and throws him into the sun never to be seen again.

It is a unique story and i still really love it!, when i have kids i probably will be reading great Roald Dahl stories like this one to them in the future.

Summary: a great kids story from the master
