My rating: 4 out of 5

"The Enormous Crocodile" is the story about a very hungry crocodile who is on a mission to eat a child. Along the way, he talks to other animals in the jungle who try and stop him. This book is a very quick read. I like how Dahl incorporates his characters the Roly-Poly Bird and Muggle-Wump from his other work, "The Twits" into this story. This story is a fun one that, in a way, reminds me of classic "Looney Tunes" cartoon shorts. The illustrations are fun and simple and really add to the animated feel of the story.

"The Enormous Crocodile" is a quick, short read, but is also fun and entertaining at the same time.
