A story which introduces a brand-new GAME ... a game all little monkeys, tortoises and anteaters will want to play!

Down in the jungle, three best friends – Monkey, Tortoise and Anteater – are playing silly games together. After Stick Splash, Scary Monsters and Silly Dancing, Monkey is feeling especially cheeky and, with a twinkly glint in his eye, invents a new game ... a DARING game.

Kiss the Crocodile. Who is brave enough to steal a peck from the sleeping croc, with his big tail, pointy teeth and sharp claws? MWAH! Brimming over with the thrill of friendship and play, this hilarious new story from the author of Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise demands to be re-enacted, and is the perfect match for the animated, visually-rich artwork of Ben Mantle, illustrator of Follow the Track All the Way Back.

• A jungle comedy about the joy and innocence of play, and of being open-minded and inclusive 
• Their game, Kiss the Crocodile, is a twist on the playground classics ‘Grandmother’s Footsteps’, ‘What’s the Time, Mr Wolf?’ and ‘Knock, Knock, Run’ 
• Watch out for the spreads where you turn the book on its side – they make for a really interactive, playful picture book experience
