Croc o’Clock cover

Meet one incredibly hungry crocodile in this delightfully silly reimagining of the Twelve Days of Christmas

The world’s largest crocodile likes to eat… but feeding time is getting out of control.
As the zoo clock ticks towards midnight, Croc is growing bigger and bigger…

5 DOUGHNUT RINGS…!
4 pumpkin pies
3 french fries
2 pots of tea
and a mountain of macaroni.

A bright, bold and bonkers reimagining of the familiar festive song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, starring a very hungry crocodile.

"Author and sometime Arctic explorer Lewis-Jones shows a silly side in penning a perfect parody of the Yuletide favorite focusing on a greedy croc.
Sanders’ stylized illustrations of a bright green croc on equally bright backgrounds inhaling yummies served by a multiracial troop of zookeepers and patrons are a deliciously eye-catching match. 

A cumulative singalong fit for hungry crowds (and crocs)
