The Enormous Crocodile written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake is a great book for middle elementary students. This picture book keeps the reader interested the whole time and gives great visual representations of the words! The book starts off with The Enormous Crocodile talking to The Notsobig One about what they will eat for lunch today. The Enormous Crocodile talks about all his different plans that he will use to eat the children to many animals throughout the area. He talks to Humpy-Rumpy, Trunky, Muggle-Wump, and the Roly-Poly Bird along the way. The crocodile tries to camouflage himself in many different ways like being a coconut tree or a bench, however every time one of the other animals catches him and saves the children. In the end, Trunky flings The Enormous Crocodile into space and he his the sun and “sizzled up like a sausage.” This book is great for kids because it has a different story line and the pictures are greatly drawn. They make the book even better! While some children are afraid of animals, this books shows that animals are not dangerous and they will not eat children for any meal.
