The four jungle animals are all feeling horrified and disgusted with the big crocodile, thereby insulting him on the spot, hoping that he will fail miserably and will himself be killed permanently, after which the reptile himself briefly and unsuccessfully attacks first Muggle-Wump the Monkey in his tree (filled with nuts) and Roly Poly Bird himself in his (newly-built) nest. The dizzy enormous crocodile flies diagonally through Earth's stratosphere, and through the Universe. The Enormous Crocodile is a horrid greedy grumptious brute who loves to guzzle up little boys and girls.A picture book written for younger readers than Dahl's other works, the story tells of a hungry crocodile who aims to eat human children via using various, not-quite-impenetrable disguises. The text in this edition of The Enormous Crocodile was updated in 2022 for young independent readers.

The Enormous Crocodile is in the style of a picture book in contrast to Roald Dahl's other story books, illustrated by Quentin Blake. Dahl gifted readers some of literature’s most abiding and wonderful characters, from the lovable dream-whispering, word-mangling giant, the BFG, to magical Matilda, chocolate-maker extraordinaire Willy Wonka and many more. Part of the collectable Roald Dahl hardback set, published jointly by Puffin Books and Jonathan Cape. The enormous crocodile sets out to eat a child for lunch only to have his plot foiled by the other animals in the jungle.

This foul fiend – the greediest croc in the whole river – wants to eat something juicy and delicious. Listen to THE ENORMOUS CROCODILE and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices- plus added squelchy sound effects! From his iconic illustrations of The BFG and Matilda to Mr Stink with birds and beasts of all shapes and sizes along the way, Roald Dahl’s favourite illustrator Quentin Blake has been making us smile for more than half a century.
