Bookroo's summary

In a lively swamp, Solomon the crocodile just wants to play, but everyone turns him away. Dragonflies buzz him off, storks flap, and the hippo huffs. Suddenly, a new commotion arises, and for once, it's not Solomon causing the trouble. Could this unexpected ruckus lead to the perfect friendship for the lonely croc? Dive into a vibrant tale of mischief and discovery, where finding a friend might just mean embracing the unexpected.

From the publisher

In his swampy home, Solomon is looking for fun but nobody wants to play. The dragonflies tell him to buzz off, the storks get in a flap, and the hippo is downright huffy. But then somebody else starts making a ruckus . . . and for once it is NOT Solomon. Could it be the perfect pal for a lonely croc? Matching vibrant art with rollicking words, Scottish artist Catherine Rayner has created a funny, reassuring story about a rambunctious youngster who chases off the friends he’s trying to make.
