The first snap of the Hungry Crocodile is here in this lively jungle adventure that can be bought as a book or book and CD to aid and improve reading skills and listening. The wonderful, witty narration by Craig Kelly and Helen Lederer plus original music and sound effects bring this jungle adventure to life. The illustrations are big and bold and bright and atmospheric.
"It was hot in the deep green jungle when Crocodile leapt from the river. He sniffed and snarled, growled and snapped. The jungle shook and quivered."

POP! A shiny, brown nut bursts up from the ground. It looks so delicious that the two squirrels, Pecan and Hickory want to fight over it. This is a READY STEADY READ romp of a book with lots of tempting extras to engage children with the fun story offering: Activity pages, Reusable reward stickers and Reading notes for parents and teachers. Perfect for Key Stage 1.
Here's a short extract: “Box his ears,” shouts Littlest Rabbt. “Certainly not. Boxing ears doesn’t solve problems,” says Badger firmly. “Oh,” says Littlest Rabbit, disappointed, “then bop his nose.”

Well, I had a wonderful time at Benhall Primary School and I must say a big thank you to everyone for making me so welcome. We had great fun in the hall making fantastic, bright masks; all made and coloured for the Click Clack, Crocodile’s Back event. A wonderful teacher, Miss Ruffle (who was completely unruffled by the whole experience) was a great sport and really brought the show to life by donning the pink flamingo hat, banana jacket, and shoe shuffling to Tuxedo Junction.
