I like the page where the r crocodile was asleep they drew on him!
I wonder why the crocodile went into the book. Maybe he wanted to eat the ducks!
I liked it when the duck drew a tutu and a necklace on the crocodile's neck.
I liked it when he ate a hole in the book. I thought it was a funny book.
I read this book to my cousin and she really liked it even though she doesn’t really understand i think
Because there is a big hole at the back and you get to shake the book.
The crocodile bangs his nose at the edge of the book.
I like the part where the crocodile bumps into the side of the book because it's funny .
I like how it's really obvious at the beginning of the book that the crocodile is hiding
My favourite part was when the crocodile ate the book and there was a real hole in the book!!!! Whoever wrote this book is an absolute genius!
Love this book, really enjoyed reading it.
This book was amazing.
I liked that the crocodile ate the book to escape.
I liked how funny it was when the crocodile got dressed with a crayon! It was meant to be the ugly duckling's book but the crocodile bit the book and escaped. Where do you think he is going to turn up next?
Once upon a time there was a crocodile and the funny thing was that he was in the book 📖 and eating 🍽 the way through the words . I think it’ fiction
I loved this book. It was funny because a crocodile snuck into the Ugly Duckling book and he ate all the letters and sentences. He looked very funny in his tutu and when he bumped his nose on the side of the book.
This book was good but it felt really short. I liked the part when the crocodile gets drawn on and when it tries to brake out of the book
Today I read open very carefully this book was supposed to be the story of the ugly duckling bout oh no a scaely tail but that creatrure hidded in one of pages and behind its a scray crocdile! Try to get him out of the book to save the grey gosling. But remeber open the pages carefully or the croc mite bite you!
I liked that the crocodile had a tutu on and ate the words. My favourite character in the book is the person that drew on the crocodile
