Description
This brilliantly original picture book plunges the reader into the steamy, swampy world of a mother crocodile - hungry and dangerous, but tender and protective to her new babies. Mike Bostock's bold and vivid illustrations perfectly complement Karen Wallace's lyrical text to capture the spirit of the crocodile and its environment.
