First that dastardly Napoleon kidnapped Crocodile from his beloved Egypt, then he dragged him to Paris to be gawked at, and THEN he tried to eat him! Luckily our dear croc escaped, but while Parisian life may be glamorous, life in Paris’s sewers is not. If only Napoleon had taken Crocodile to a more aquatic reptile–friendly city. Perhaps one with an excess of canals and better food…

“NAPOLEON TO TOUR ITALY: FIRST STOP, VENICE”

Surely Napoleon wouldn’t mind if Crocodile hitched a ride out of Paris…

Will our crocodile find his perfect home amongst Italian high-society? Or will he be revealed as an impasta? Pack away your pasta—Crocodile is heading to Italy in this long-awaited sequel to Fred Marcellino’s award-winning I, Crocodile.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Hazel M. ★★★★★

The Napoleon plotline is so delightfully absurd that I couldn’t stop grinning through the whole escape sequence. I love how the story blends real historical details with pure cartoonish chaos, and the pacing kept me turning pages long past my bedtime.

Grace ★★★★★

The historical twist with Napoleon and the crocodile is such a clever setup, and the pacing kept me turning pages without skimming. That escape through Parisian streets had just the right mix of danger and silliness.

Harper ★★★★★

My kid giggled through the whole escape plot—the idea of Napoleon trying to eat a crocodile is absurdly funny—and the pages held up after three rereads tonight. That final chase scene's pacing kept even my six-year-old glued to the story.
