Pack away your pasta—Crocodile is heading to Italy in this long-awaited sequel to Fred Marcellino’s award-winning I, Crocodile. First that dastardly Napoleon kidnapped Crocodile from his beloved Egypt, then he dragged him to Paris to be gawked at, and THEN he tried to eat him! Luckily our dear croc escaped, but while Parisian life may be glamorous, life in Paris’s sewers is not. If only Napoleon had taken Crocodile to a more aquatic reptile–friendly city. Perhaps one with an excess of canals and better food… “NAPOLEON TO TOUR ITALY: FIRST STOP, VENICE” Surely Napoleon wouldn’t mind if Crocodile hitched a ride out of Paris… Will our crocodile find his perfect home amongst Italian high-society? Or will he be revealed as an impasta? Pack away your pasta—Crocodile is heading to Italy in this long-awaited sequel to Fred Marcellino’s award-winning I, Crocodile.

Crocodile has narrowly escaped the paws (or, to be more accurate, jaws) of Napoleon, who dragged the reptile from Egypt home to Paris, planning to make a meal out of the beast. Crocodile learns Napoleon is off to Venice, and he decides to hitch a ride to the beautiful city.
It's a new adventure for fans of book one, I, Crocodile. I delighted in this tale of action and fun, with silly illustrations and unexpected plot twists.
