I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

I saw this one on Netgalley and how could I resist with that title and that cover? Indeed, I couldn’t! I was very curious to see what would happen if a crocodile would skip breakfast (I could think of a few things but which would it be or would there be twist?).

In this wonderful book we meet Crocodile! He is running late for his job as a river ferry (yes, not at but as, he is the ferry), and that means that he just doesn’t have time for his Snappy Snacks breakfast cereal. But it is fine, he can just get some donuts (readers, it was not fine). It is fine, he can eat something at his work (also readers it is still not fine). And so we see a very hungry Crocodile try not to think of his passengers as food. Yes, food. The poor thing was just getting hallucinations and things didn’t get better when he thought of other things. I was just laughing and hoping that Crocodile would be fine! Would he eat his passengers? Would something else happen? I am not going to tell you, but I liked what happened next and then even more so a bit later! I know that everyone will also love it.

I hope that his boss learns to ask his Crocodile ferry if he has eaten something and if not give him something, haha. You don’t want a croc without breakfast in his tummy!

And then there is the ending! Oh my, is this a hint to a new book? Because I would LOVE that! Bring it!

Extra bonus points to the fun illustrations which were just an absolute delight, the narrator, Hippo Hut with a donut as O, that poster at Hippo Hut (how often DOES he go there?), the snake at Croc’s work (it made me laugh).

I just had oodles and oodles of fun reading this one and I hope that Croc has learned to just EAT something. And no, not his passengers. Oh dear. Just make time for breakfast is what I meant. I would highly recommend this book to all.
