Bookroo's summary

In a world of playful deception, Crocodile offers rides across the river, hiding a cunning trick. As animals fall for his scheme, the smallest creature, an ant, may have the ultimate surprise. Will Crocodile's plan backfire, or will the ant outsmart them all? Discover a tale where size doesn't determine cleverness, and the smallest can have the biggest impact.

From the publisher

“Want a ride across the river on my back?” asks Crocodile. The other animals do not know that Crocodile is playing a trick – a very low trick. Will Crocodile’s trick come back to trick him?
