The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Dahl
The Enormous Crocodile is a British 1978 children's story, written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake. The story was adapted into a 1997 TV special.
The story begins in Africa in a big, deep, muddy river, where the enormous crocodile (the title character) is telling a slightly smaller crocodile, called the "not-so-big one", that he wants to eat some children for his lunch. The small crocodile objects, because real children taste "tough and chewy and nasty and bitter" in his opinion compared to fish, and because of what happened the very last time the big crocodile tried to eat children.
