Who will catch that crocodile that’s terrifying everyone in town?
Probin policeman with his stick?
Can Doctor Dutta do the trick?
Will Bhayanak Singh drag it away?
Or is the crocodile here to stay?
But then there is another thought:
Who says a crocodile should be caught?
Acclaimed Indian poet Anushka Ravishankar’s hilarious nonsense-verse tale, of a rampant reptile and his hapless assailants, carries a subtle conservationist message. Another classic from the award-winning team behind Tiger on a Tree.
Catch that Crocodile! is also available in a limited handmade edition, screen-printed and bound by Tara Publishing’s team of skilled artisans.
Carrying on in the nonsense-verse tradition of Dr. Seuss, Edward Lear and Lewis Caroll, the witty and jubilant poetry-tales of Indian writer Anushka Ravishankar are internationally acclaimed, widely translated, and honoured with innumerable awards. Anushka has authored over 18 books. Pulak Biswas is one of the pre-eminent children's book illustrators in India and has won, among other awards, the prestigious Biennale of Illustrations, Bratislava. Also a successful painter, he considers children's book illustration his dream vocation.
