`A clever compassionate book ... The stunning illustrations
help bring the story to life''
-- Waterstone''s Guide to Kid''s Books, February 2009
內容簡介：
Every morning a very large and very snappy crocodile shouts
this selfish message: ''Stay away from my river! It''s MY river! If
you come in my river, I''ll eat you all!'' The animals in the forest
don''t know what to do. They are frightened of the crocodile. Even
the fish, tadpoles, frogs, crabs and crayfish stay out of the
water. Until one day, the creatures are woken by a loud groaning
sound which turns out to be the selfish crocodile in a lot of pain,
and the smallest of them all, a little mouse, finds a way to solve
their snappy dilemma! Astoundingly bright, bold illustrations bring
to life all the wonderful creatures of the forest in a rainbow of
colours. The Author: Faustin Charles is a renowned poet and
story-teller. His collection of Afro-Caribbean rhymes was published
to great success by Puffin. This is his first picture book text.
"Bloomsbury Children''s Books" are also publishing his first poetry
collection in October 1998, establishing Faustin as a Bloomsbury
author across the board. Faustin spends much time in schools and
libraries story-telling, and is also Library Buyer for Enfield. He
lives in North London. The Illustrator: Mike Terry is most
well-known for his wonderful cover illustrations for Dick
King-Smith, including "The Hodgeheg" and "The Sheep-Pig" the basis
for the successful film "Babe". This is his first picture book.
Mike lives in Hythe, Kent.
