The Enormous crocodile

Nice book, I liked when the crocodile kept being unmasked by the other animals.

Bit scary but good

I liked the book. The crocodile seemed quite clever at first but all of the other animals helped the children to escape and thought of smarter plans.

I liked the smaller crocodile the best. I would recommend this, because it is funny.

The book was funny. my favourite character was the roly poly bird, he thought the crocodile was talking about eating berries not eating children.

The Enormous Crocodile is a funny and exciting story about a very greedy crocodile who wants to trick animals and catch children. He comes up with clever disguises and sneaky plans, but the other animals know he is up to no good and try to stop him.

I liked this book because it is full of humour and adventure. The crocodile is a memorable character, and his silly tricks make the story entertaining. The other animals are brave and work together to protect the children.

The illustrations are bright and funny, which makes the story even more enjoyable. The book is easy to read and keeps readers interested from beginning to end.

I would recommend this book to children who enjoy funny stories, animal characters, and exciting adventures. It teaches an important lesson about kindness and how selfish behaviour can lead to trouble.

I listened to this story with my cousin on his Tonie. It made me laugh, how cross the crocodile was getting.

His clever tricks and plans weren’t so clever after all.

I liked the part when he hid under the table.

I loved the book so much.i thought it was cool that the animals knew when to save the children

27 Jul 2025

It was amazing.

Funny. At the end the elephant throws the crocodile

24 Jun 2025

The ending was just so-so because the crocodile failed to eat a human. If it had succeeded in eating a human, it would have been funnier than ever.

Liked it

I thought this book was awesome. I loved it because the crocodiles plans were funny and I knew some of the characters from the twits story - like the roly poly bird or the muggle wump. I would read this again.

The elephant saved the day

30 Aug 2024

A good book but a bit repetitive.

24 Aug 2024

I liked the enormous crocodile because it’s all about reptiles and reptiles are my favourite animals. Crocodile was naughty because he wanted to eat children but he didn’t succeed though.
