The Talking Crocodile is a whimsical adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s short story, reimagined for young readers by M. Rudolph Campbell. In this tale, a man named Ivan is swallowed by a crocodile at a zoo in St. Petersburg, Russia. Rather than panicking, Ivan finds himself quite comfortable inside the creature, even hosting tea parties and engaging in conversations with visitors. The story humorously explores themes of human nature, society, and the absurdity of certain social conventions. Judy Piussi-Campbell’s illustrations complement the narrative, adding a touch of charm and enhancing the storytelling experience. Show more
