A good book but a bit repetitive.

I liked the enormous crocodile because it’s all about reptiles and reptiles are my favourite animals. Crocodile was naughty because he wanted to eat children but he didn’t succeed though.

A long but funny book especially as he launches into space and hits the sun!

I really liked this book because all of the kids didn't fall for the tricks the crocodile set up. My favourite character was the rolly polly bird. I read this book because I like animals and this looked like a good book.

I loved this book because the story starts as if he is going to eat the children but monkey , hippo and the Roly poly bird stoped him from doing that but the bit which was the funniest was when the elephant threw him into the sun

I loved this book! Roald Dahl is one of my favourite authors. My favourite character in this book was Humpy-Rumpy the hippopotamus because he's so clumsy.

I like the book because it had loads of silly words in it like muggle wump and roly poly bird. I liked that he likes the mud. In the end he explodes into the sun like a sausage

I liked that "The Enormous Crocodile" tries his tricks but they never worked because the other animals were friendly and saved the children.
