Akimbo and the Crocodile Man
Alexander McCall Smith
Adventure stories full of the sights, sounds and smells of Africa from best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith. When Akimbo is offered the chance to help tag baby crocodiles, he is very excited. John the Crocodile man wants to keep an eye on the latest batch of crocodiles, and Akimbo is keen to learn more about the dangerous creatures. Then John is attacked by an angry croc, and Akimbo has to use all his courage to save him! Alexander McCall Smith’s animal stories have earned their place as truly classic children’s stories.

It was sad when John got bitten by the crocodile, but luckily Akimbo was there to save the day!

Akimbo was a really good book because Akimbo tried so hard to save people and even though he didn’t have a car key he still managed to start the car. I am going to read some more of these.

Not as good as the other 2 books in the series.

I liked that this story was about crocodiles. My favourite part was when Crocodile man and Akimbo were rowing the boat to check on the baby crocodiles. I found the story was a little bit boring compared to the other Akimbo adventures.

I loved when Akimbo rescued John from the crocodiles. Akimbo is my favourite character because he was a hero.

The chapters after chapter 5 are quite scary.

I think this book is good because it is kind of educational. It talks about how to start a truck without a key and the people do a crocodile experiment.
