Bookroo's summary

A clever crocodile, once kidnapped by Napoleon, escapes Paris's sewers for the allure of Italy. As he sneaks into Venice, he must navigate the opulent world of Italian high society. Will he find a new home among the canals, or will his true nature be discovered? With the stakes high, this reptilian adventure promises unexpected twists and a taste of intrigue. Can he outsmart those around him, or will he be unmasked as an imposter in this thrilling sequel?

From the publisher

First that dastardly Napoleon kidnapped Crocodile from his beloved Egypt, then he dragged him to Paris to be gawked at, and THEN he tried to eat him! Luckily our dear croc escaped, but while Parisian life may be glamorous, life in Paris’s sewers is not. If only Napoleon had taken Crocodile to a more aquatic reptile–friendly city. Perhaps one with an excess of canals and better food… “NAPOLEON TO TOUR ITALY: FIRST STOP, VENICE” Surely Napoleon wouldn’t mind if Crocodile hitched a ride out of Paris… Will our crocodile find his perfect home amongst Italian high-society? Or will he be revealed as an impasta? Pack away your pasta—Crocodile is heading to Italy in this long-awaited sequel to Fred Marcellino’s award-winning I, Crocodile.
