# Crocodile Hungry - Hardcover

by **Eija Sumner** (Author), **John Martz** (Illustrator)

**A hilarious story about a hungry and hapless crocodile, for fans of _How to Give Your Cat a Bath_ and _I Want My Hat Back_.**

Crocodile hungry.

What can crocodile eat?

Canned ham? Too hard to open.  
Beef jerky? Gets stuck in teeth.  
Eggs? Bite shell, get toothache.

Crocodile must find food. But where?

Though crocodile is surrounded by food, he doesn't know it. He's used to food coming in packages and boxes and in handy tins. Will the hungry crocodile figure it out?

Readers big and little will laugh out loud at the simple but hysterical text and illustrations by debut author Eija Sumner and cartoonist (and now resident crocodile expert) John Martz.
