Bookroo's summary

Ernest is confident his well-trained crocodile will shine at the school pet show, despite Cindy Lou's insistence that her poodle, Fifi, is unbeatable. As tensions rise, Ernest and his friend have a few tricks up their sleeves to prove that a crocodile can steal the spotlight. Will Ernest's unusual pet outshine the competition, or will Cindy Lou's skepticism prevail? Discover the unexpected talents of a crocodile when it's not busy biting.

From the publisher

Ernest’s crocodile does not bite! It’s very well trained. But when Ernest brings the crocodile to the school’s pet show, his rival Cindy Lou gets very rude. Cindy Lou is sure her poodle Fifi will win best in show. She doesn’t think Ernest’s croc should be allowed to compete. But Ernest and his friend have some tricks prepared. They’re going to prove that when a crocodile’s not busy biting, it can really put on a show!
