Crocodile is a delightfully informative and entertaining non-fiction novel. Tracing back the history of the crocodilian for thousands of years, and returning to describe how humans have effected these wonderful animals, you will not be able to put it down. From Chapter 1, the reader is taken aboard the H.M.S Beegle, to make first contact with the Australian Salt Water Crocodile, leaping from the water to snap bats from the air. From there on, we learn of the myths and legends surrounding the crocodile, the biological phenomenons of the crocodile, and all sorts of other fascinating information, all wrapped up in around 288 pages. Though very informative, Crocodile is unique amongst its kind, as it is not just a book of different kinds of crocodilian and their different identifying features. Crocodile is a novel, that goes in-depth to lots of interesting information, historical facts and real life interviews, without ever taking on that common, twenty page, wrote learned, uninformative fact book. All in all, an astounding book, can't wait for the next one. Hats off to Lynne Kelly!
