The crocodile said to the chimpanzee,

“Chimpanzee, I want to be free.

The jungle jangle’s not for me.”

Crocodile says goodbye to the jungle and heads for the bright lights of London to find freedom and adventure. But despite the famous sights, city life on a stone-cold street begins to pall...   Will crocodile tears become real tears for friends, family and home?   A fantastic picture book for reading aloud by poetry legend Roger McGough and award-winning animator Greg McLeod.

Roger McGough is probably Britain's most famous and best-loved poet, author of over 50 books for adults and children. Born in Liverpool in 1937, he originally rose to fame as a member of The Scaffold, the pop music/poetry group whose most famous song was 'Lily the Pink'. Roger lives in Barnes, London.


Greg McLeod is an illustrator and animator, winner of an Association of Illustrators Gold Award for his work on the BBC comedy animation 'Sticks' and has had frequent BAFTA nominations for his work for children. He lives in Stratford on Avon.
