Bookroo's summary

In a river teeming with sly piranhas, one by one they vanish, leaving a single, overconfident survivor. This last piranha believes he can conquer any foe, but a giant crocodile waits in the shadows. As the river's cleverest fish, can he outwit the lurking predator, or will he become the next meal? Dive into this suspenseful tale and discover the fate of the river's most cunning creature.

From the publisher

Ten sly piranhas are swimming in a river, but one at a time they disappear, until there is only one left. Now that this proud overeater is the only surviving piranha, he is confident that he can eat anybody. But while he may be the cleverest fish in the river, he is no match for the giant crocodile lurking on the bank. Children will love learning to count backward in this crafty tale about one very hungry piranha.
