About this deal

The crocodile was very thankful of the mouse and was given a nut to eat as a reward for helping him. One day the creatures were woken up by loud groaning, thinking someone got caught by the crocodile but it turns out it was the crocodile.

The Selfish Crocodile | Summer Reading Challenge

However, one day the crocodile was in lots of pain due to a bad tooth and no one helped him because they were so scared from him. Because the crocodile was selfish and scared away all the other creatures none of them wanted to help him when he had an issue. I thought this was a lovely tale about a crocodile behaving incredibly selfishly towards the other animals who want to share his living space. Of course, a mouse teaches him that it's okay to depend on others and even to spend time with others without being rude.I liked the story because it had a good theme and it was interesting to read to find out what was going to happen. He did not want to share the river with them and threatened them every day to stay out of the water.

The Selfish Crocodile by Faustin Charles | Goodreads

The moral of the story is that it is not nice to be selfish or mean to anyone and that it is very important to share which is something that children could be taught through this story book. Astoundingly bright, bold illustrations bring to life all the wonderful creatures of the forest in a rainbow of colours. Soon after, the crocodile and the mouse become friends and the crocodile invites everyone else to drink and bathe in the river. The story is a great read to use to reaffirm the learning of habitats and animals as the book displays a wide variety of different animals. This book is about a selfish crocodile who would not let anyone drink from or swim in the river and said that it was 'his river', all the animals feared him.All In all, being selfish will only make you feel lonely, and you won’t have anyone to ask for help when you need it most. At first the animals think that if they leave the alligator alone, he will stay in pain, and they feel free to use the river again but then the animals feel sorry for the alligator and help him feel better. You can tell what emotions the animals are feeling from their expressions, and children would have fun interpreting these emotions. This book also comes with a CD and is great for guided reading or free flow activity in EYFS/KS1/KS2 years. A great text to connect to social interaction, the importance of peer support, problem/solution, and character development.
