He’s greedy, he’s grumptious, he’s beastly!
The Enormous Crocodile is weaving his way through the jungle of Chicago in search of delicious little fingers and squidgy podgy knees…Only the other jungle creatures can foil his secret plans and clever tricks, but they’re going to have to find a large amount of courage to stop this greedy brute.
