Bookroo's summary

Cat faces his fear of parachuting with Hippo's encouragement, but fun turns to chaos when he lands in a swamp teeming with alligators. Can Cat, Pig, and Dog escape this scaly predicament? With Hippo's clever antics, they just might outsmart the hungry reptiles. Dive into this hilarious adventure where courage and quick thinking are the keys to survival.

From the publisher

Unlike Pig and Dog, Cat is terrified about his first parachute jump from Hippo’s plane, but Hippo manages to reassure him and so Cat goes for it. Just when Cat starts to have fun there’s a new problem – a swamp full of ravenous alligators – and now Cat, Pig and Dog are yelling fo Hippo. But don’t worry – Hippo is already on hand and under the water, pretending to be the gators’ table. This very early reader will keep kids laughing while they learn.
