Solomon and Mortimer
Catherine Rayner, Catherine Rayner
Solomon Crocodile and his friend Mortimer are bored. They want to find some fun, but what can they do? Tree-climbing is tricky, chasing lizards doesn't end well and flying turns out to be a lot harder than it looks. But then they spot the biggest hippo in the river. Just imagine the splash he'd make if two naughty crocodiles were to surprise him! But Solomon and Mortimer are about to get a whole lot more than they bargained for . . . Sure to delight fans of the original Solomon Crocodile, which has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide, Solomon and Mortimer is a warm, funny and charming tale from the Kate Greenaway Medal winning Catherine Rayner, which young children will ask for again and again.

Funny book with a big SPLASH
Prince Crocodile Glitterball 22.08.2023
It's fiction. My favourite character is Mortimer. Mortimer makes scary plans. Mortimer scared a hippo. I would not recommend this book to somebody because Mortimer didn't feel sorry.
Empress Letizia Manatee 28.07.2023
My favourite characters are the crocodiles I like this book because all the characters ask the crocodiles what they are doing. The crocodiles think what a big splash the hippo will make, they hold their breath, their eyes are tightly closed, squatting low in the water when BOO shouts the hippo and SPLASH go the crocodiles.
Lieutenant Chesney Pawprint 16.08.2022
It was good. It was quite lovely with a happy ending as they were friends. I liked both crocodiles. I would recommend it to 5 and 6 year olds.
