The Enormous Crocodile (Roald Dahl)






Plot:


The story focuses around a large, greedy crocodile that is on the hunt for children to guzzle up for his lunch. He plans various attempts to trap the children so he can eat them but before he has chance, various animals from the jungle foils his attempts. As a consequence for his greediness, the enormous crocodile is banished into space by the elephant to stop him trying to trick children ever again.


Themes:


Greed, animals, the Jungle, being appreciative of what we have

Age:

Appropriate for KS1 and lower KS2 as a foundation for English sessions. Has a good moral to the story and may help children to be more creative when thinking about writing their own stories. Excellent, colourful illustrations that would attract a younger audience.

Subject:

English, geography and science (looking at the different animals in the jungle), artwork, citizenship and PSHE
