The Enormous Crocodile
by Roald Dahl
A boastful crocodile leaves the river with clever plans for catching children to eat. The other jungle animals have no intention of letting him.
A story about animals, funny and adventurous in tone. We would put it with children of 5–7, and at a reading age of about 7 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
