Meet a most unusual crocodile! Everybody knows that crocodiles love water, but this little crocodile is different. He doesn’t like water at all. In fact, he prefers climbing trees! But it can be lonely when you’re the odd one out, so the little crocodile tries his best to change. But being wet isn’t for everyone – and a shiver soon becomes a cold and the cold becomes a sneeze, a very hot sneeze…Could it be that this little crocodile isn’t a crocodile at all? He might just be a DRAGON! A funny, unique and uplifting story from a debut author-illustrator.

It's fun.
I liked the part where the mother crocodile and the mother dragon had swapped eggs
I liked the surprise in the story and I likes that the crocodile kept trying to like water with his rubber ring.
I enjoyed this book very much and had it read to me lots of times
Its a dragon
I thought this book was funny, I didn’t expect the ending. I would recommend this to my Gran.
I wanted to catch up with this picture book - a simple tale and lots to talk about when sharing with a young reader.
My favourite part was the ending when the crocodile who didn't like water he was a dragon and this little dragon wasn't born to swim.
I learnt to always take a chance to do something before you dislike it
I like this book because it is about not having to copy others and being yourself. I recommend this book.
Sweet story with a little twist at the end, we enjoyed reading this book

After all he was a dinosaur and L wasn’t suprised why he didn’t like water at last
I like this book because he doesn’t like water because he isn’t a crocodile he is a dragon
Loved the ending!
It's quite sad because the crocodile didn't like water and he saw everyone else in water having fun when he was just looking but in the end we found out he wasn't a crocodile because when he went in water he wasn't feeling too good.
The little crocodile didn't like water because he was a dragon. I liked that the main character was a crocodile. I would recommend it to somebody.
Enjoyable
I liked the dragon. I thought he was a dragon not a crocodile.
I liked that this was a mysterious book. It was actually a dragon in the story and not a crocodile. At the end of the book there are lots of dragon eggs with a crocodile egg.
