Description:
Crocodile is hungry, and Hen is fat and juicy-looking. Crocodile wants to eat her -- but every time he tries, Hen calmly says, "Don't eat me, my brother". So he doesn't. But what does Hen mean, calling Crocodile her brother? Adapted from the Central African folktale "Why the Crocodile Does Not Eat the Hen", this comic slice of folklore -- starring an unflappable hen and a befuddled crocodile brought to life in bold, bright artwork -- is sure to appeal to beginning readers.
