A comic caper that will have you laughing all the way to the bank from John Bush and Korky Paul. Perfect for children learning to read.

Mr Crocodile needs a job. So says Mrs Crocodile. But what to do? Luckily, Mr. Crocodile is a croc with imagination. He could be a soccer star – Mr Soccerdile has a nice ring to it.

I have read this book

My favourite character was Mr Crookodile. I had this story a long time ago with Mummy, that’s why I chose it again - I can remember reading it but I’m definitely better at reading it now.

The crocodile was trying to rob a bank, which is very naughty, so I do not recommend this book.

I didn't like this because he didn't help cook and clean.

I gave it 4 because I thought it was too long and I was tired at the end. I liked the story. My favourite bit was when his wife kept saying he wouldn’t be able to do all the jobs he had thought of and the only one she thought was good he went off because he didn’t want to do the washing up while his wife did the cooking.
