In the heart of Africa, Snout the crocodile becomes a lifeline for stranded animals during a flood. As he ferries creatures across dangerous waters, his kindness knows no bounds. But when the weather turns dry, leaving him vulnerable, will his good deeds be remembered? Discover a tale of friendship and reciprocity as Snout's fate hangs in the balance. Will the animals he once helped come to his aid? This heartwarming story explores the power of kindness and the bonds that unite us all.
From the publisher
When the skies of Africa darken with rain and the river swells, a good-natured crocodile named Snout lends his broad back to many stranded animal neighbors. After he ferries soggy fireflies, dripping hedgehogs, and other creatures over dangerous waters, his good deeds are repaid in full when a shift to hot, dry weather leaves him vulnerable instead. Written by Children’s Poet Laureate J. Patrick Lewis and illustrated by acclaimed picture book artist Monique Felix, The Good Ship Crocodile is a charming story of friendship sure to inspire readers of all ages.
