A greedy crocodile meets a united animal cast

The Enormous Crocodile’s plan to eat children puts him at odds with the other animals, who join forces to foil his tricks. The compact picture-book format centers the story on that conflict, with Quentin Blake’s illustrations accompanying the action. Its animal ensemble and clear clash between the crocodile’s appetite and the others’ resistance give the tale a straightforward adventure shape, without needing a complicated setup.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 looking for a picture-book adventure.
  • Families seeking a story with animal characters and a shared effort to outwit a troublemaker.

Book overview

From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG, featuring a full-color interior!

The Enormous Crocodile is incredibly hungry--and incredibly greedy. His favorite meal is a plump, juicy little child, and he intends to gobble up as many of them as he can! His is sure that his "secret plans and clever tricks" cannot be foiled. But when the other animals in the jungle join together to put an end to his wicked schemes, the Enormous Crocodile learns a lesson he won't soon forget.
