Catch That Crocodile!

A glorious poem, matched with bold, folk-art illustrations, tells the dramatic and entertaining story of how the important people of a town set about trying to catch a crocodile and fail completely.They are shown up when a little girl leads it quietly back to the water...As in all the best stories, it is not bravery but understanding that is needed..This is a memorable and catchy verse story. - Guardian

A relatively simple story told in quite fun verse and unusual illustrations which evoke woodcut or lino prints. The colour combination is dramatic as the black and green illustrations appear on a slightly mottled pale yellow background colour. Some playful use of typography adds to the overall effect of drama. I like its quirkiness. - Books for Keeps

A swirling combination of text and illustration each feeding into the other. .. a real joy - Carousel

Delightfully illustrated, witty verse story. - Ibby Link
