Review
Brock is one cool crocodile. As the only croc in the swamp, Brock loves to tell his friends exaggerated tales of his past adventures.
But when the evil Mayor Grunter arrives with the intention of filling in the swamp with her enormous concrete making machines, everyone looks to Brock to save them.
Will he be able to live up to their expectations and save the swamp, or will he run away in disgrace? Running seems like it might be the best option!
Full of themes of progress at the detriment of the environment, friendship, and working together, this is a humorous and delightfully illustrated story by a great Australian author and illustrator team.
Best suited to a younger reading age 7 and up, particularly reluctant readers.
