About this eBook
All of the animals are afraid of the Selfish Crocodile - he never let's them into his river, and he's always so snappy!
And so when the Selfish Crocodile finds himself in terrible pain, no-one wants to help him - after all, what if he gobbles them up? But, to everyone's surprise, there is one animal in the forest who is willing to help . . .
A brilliant tale of friendship, The Selfish Crocodile has become a picture book classic.

The crocodile is very selfish and does not let other animals near its river. But one day, the crocodile has severe stomach ache. What happens after that? Cute read for kids.
