"I'm going to fill my
hungry empty tummy
With something yummy
yummy yummy yummy!"
Watch out,watch out,little children beware; the enormous crocodile's lurking out there!
The Notsobig crocodile likes to eat fish for his tea but not the Enormous Crocodile,he wants a juicy,scrumptious child for his dinner and he's got some crafty tricks up his sleeve to lure them into his sharp jaws. He's so proud of his grand plan he's simply got to share it with all of the other animals in the jungle.
Hmm,Mr Enormous Crocodile,perhaps you should have kept that big mouth of yours tightly closed. Humpy Rumpy,Trunky,Muggle-Wump and the Roly-Poly bird might stop your dastardly plans and clever tricks.
Waterstones cautions all children to beware the glittering eye and sharp teeth of the Enormous Crocodile and make sure to look where you're going,he might be just around the next corner...

MEDIA REVIEWS
A true genius...Roald Dahl is my hero
Roald Dahl
Dahl gifted readers some of literature's most abiding and wonderful characters,from the lovable dream-whispering,word-mangling giant,the BFG,to magical Matilda,chocolate-maker extraordinaire Willy Wonka and many more. Endlessly inventive and laugh-out- loud funny,Dahl's stories reinvent the world for every new generation. They are rightly ranked among the greatest classics of children's fiction,stories that celebrate kindness,bravery and hope. Oh and whizzpopping.
