The Enormous Crocodile

”I’m going to fill my hungry empty tummy With something yummy yummy yummy yummy!” Watch out, watch out, little children beware; the enormous crocodile’s lurking out there! The Notsobig crocodile likes to eat fish for his tea but not the Enormous Crocodile, he wants a juicy, scrumptious child for his dinner and he’s got some crafty tricks up his sleeve to lure them into his sharp jaws. He’s so proud of his grand plan he’s simply got to share it with all of the other animals in the jungle. Hmm, Mr Enormous Crocodile, perhaps you should have kept that big mouth of yours tightly closed. Humpy Rumpy, Trunky, Muggle-Wump and the Roly-Poly bird might stop your dastardly plans and clever tricks. Waterstones cautions all children to beware the glittering eye and sharp teeth of the Enormous Crocodile and make sure to look where you’re going, he might be just around the next corner… Now the magic of Roald Dahl is brought to life in these new illustrated paperback editions from the imagination of Quentin Blake, Roald Dahl’s own favourite illustrator. With brand new, bold cover designs and Blake’s quintessential pen and ink drawings these are classic editions for every generation to enjoy. Roald Dahl was a spy, ace fighter pilot, chocolate historian and medical inventor. He was also the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG and many more brilliant stories. He remains the world’s number one storyteller. One of Britain’s finest living illustrators, Quentin Blake has put pictures to more than three hundred books and was Roald Dahl’s favourite illustrator. As an author he has written and illustrated a number of bestselling children’s books including The Green Ship and Angelica Sprocket’s Pockets. In 1999 he became the first ever Children’s Laureate and in 2013 he was knighted for services to illustration.
