One of the favorite books of the young mini-monsters is The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Roald Dahl. The book is about a very big, sly old crocodile who terrorizes everyone in the jungle. Roald Dahl, master of suspense, is in very good form in this book. With his love of black humor - which is understood well, even by young children - is this a typical Dahl book.
Fun fact: in the UK Roald Dahl's date of birth (september 23) is officially declared Roald Dahl Day!
Quentin Blake's fantastic drawings match perfectly with Roald Dahl's stories. No wonder he was his regular illustrator. His illustrations give so much atmosphere to the books, it's a winning combination.
3 warm glowing stars for The Enormous Crocodile, from the snazzie mini-monsters!
