| The Enormous Crocodile / Roald Dahl : 3 of 5 | |

 Most of the Dahl books left for me to read are really short ones (though I do still have a couple long ones yet to read), and The Enormous Crocodile is a perfect example. It's shorter than the average Dr. Seuss book, but still rather entertaining, due to the excellent color illustrations on every page. The story is about a huge crocodile (big surprise) who decides to leave the jungle to find some kids to eat. Along the way he brags to the other jungle animals, and so when he tries to fool the kids with his clever tricks, he's thwarted by the friendly hippo, monkey, bird, and elephant. The ending is really abrupt, but I guess that's to be expected. There are a few funny Dahl rhymes when the crocodile sings about how he loves the taste of children - I'm always happy to read some of his funny poetry! Guess I need to order another Dahl book soon.Labels: books |
