Little Crocodile gets tasty bananas every day to grow big and strong. One day he doesn't want to eat because he wants a baby more. Mummy and Daddy Crocodile try in vain to persuade him to eat something else. At the river, the little crocodile sees a girl he wants to eat, but she exclaims that he must definitely eat a lot more if he ever wants to grow up and quickly throws him into the water. Suddenly he has a huge appetite for bananas because now he suddenly wants to become big and strong. The little crocodile reacts like any petulant toddler who has his heart set on something. His parents can't convince him, but when he fails himself, he quickly runs back to them. This oblong-format picture book features clear watercolor illustrations that usually take up a double page. The animals are slightly caricatured, which has an expressive and funny effect. Throughout the book, the position of the sun and the choice of color reflect the course from morning to evening. The text at the bottom of the pages contains dialogues and is easy to read aloud.
