enough of this and he went to set the other crocodiles free. He traveled from the Nile all the way to the Decatur Bayou in Louisiana. There he met many great alligators who wanted to help him capture the bad man. So they set out to find the bad man and they did. The crocodile and his other family returned back to the Nile, and Bill was the hero. I thought this was a great book. It can teach children about never giving up and team work. The book also has some educational aspects, like talking about the different places and different crocodiles. I would reccomend this book to any teacher. Show Less
