Bookroo's summary

Zuva makes a promise to a crocodile after he does her a favor, inviting him to a village party. But crocodiles aren't welcome in town. When the determined croc arrives, Zuva must navigate the chaos of keeping her word. Will she find a way to honor her promise without causing a village uproar? This lively retelling of a Shona folktale explores the hilarity and challenges of unexpected guests and the importance of keeping promises.

From the publisher

When you promise Croc a party, you better keep that promise and give him a party! Zuva knows you should never invite a crocodile to town—everyone knows that! But what if the crocodile does you a favor? And what if you promise to return the favor by inviting him to the village party? And what if this croc actually comes knocking on your front door? Because this crocodile is a PARTY CROC! This hilarious retelling of a Shona folktale from Zimbabwe is both a cautionary tale about keeping promises and a raucously fun read-aloud for party animals of any age.
