We read this story as children about a beguiling crocodile wanting the sweet heart of a monkey for her husband in The Monkey and the Crocodile. I didnt realise that this rivalry was universal. In 'What time is it Mr Crocodile?', the crocodile thinks the monkeys are pesky. Mr Esquire even makes an agenda for tomorrow involving the extermination of monkeys. The list of activities to be done reminded me of the Frog's list in The Frog and the Toad series.
After reading the story, my daughter kept telling papa that the crocodile fell upside down. It didnt strike me at all, that it was in this book. I had totally forgotten about it. In that page, crocodile is upside down having tumbled from the skate board. At first, her reaction was that the book is upside down.
In the end, the crocodile has a change of heart, after the monkeys realise that the crocodile is tired and make him 'Monkey stew'.
What might seaweed ice cream be?
