I recently read the children’s book called, ‘The Selfish Crocodile.’
This children’s book was written by Faustin Charles and illustrated by Michael Terry.
It’s a wonderful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a very selfish crocodile.
The river in the forest should be shared by all of the animals, so when a large river crocodile tells all of the other animals to stay away from the river or they’d be eaten, they do, for they don’t want to be eaten.
That was until the selfish crocodile had very bad toothache.
So, which animal do you think would risk their life to help the crocodile?
If I was one of the animal’s I wouldn’t help the bully crocodile. Why should I when he’d threatened to eat me previously. Also, what’s to stop him from eating me after I’d helped him?
Unfortunately, there are also selfish crocodiles in schools; they shout, their loud, they bully, they threaten and make most of us very unhappy.
So, if your bullied by a selfish crocodile in anyway at your school then tell a teacher, your mum or dad, brother or sister, aunt, uncle, or a grandparent, for by letting an adult know, they can deal with the selfish crocodile so that you don’t have too.
So, when you’re next in the library why not read the book, or you could with parental guidance watch the story on YouTube. Either way, tell me what you think.
And remember, don’t let a selfish crocodile ruin your childhood.
