Product Information

The bigger crocodile leaves the big, deep, muddy river anyway, and announces his intention to first visit Humpy-Rumpy the hippopotamus on the river bank, then Trunky the elephant in the jungle, then Muggle Wump the monkey, and finally Roly-Poly Bird in his orange tree.

Eventually, though, he is shot into space and is "incinerated like a sausage," killing him in the process.

With a chance to save the day, Trunky the Elephant marches through the jungle into the Picnic Place. My first Roald experience thus entails a 1977, 48 page picture storybook, with spare, exclamatory sentences repeating key phrases.

His stories also brought him three Edgar Awards: in 1954, for the collection Someone Like You; in 1959, for the story "The Landlady"; and in 1980, for the episode of Tales of the Unexpected based on "Skin". he exclaimed [at the line ‘She whips a pistol from her knickers’] and pressed his forefinger fingernail under the eight letters so hard an imprint was left behind … noting, ‘I suppose if the Political Correctness Police could get ahold of that, they’d change in an instant the filthy word to “ladies underwear apparel”! He's a rather large crocodile that likes to eat children so concocts elaborate plans to ensnare them. Our daughter wanted to know what would happen next and really enjoyed the story of the wicked crocodile on the hunt to eat up small children.
