Explores the alleged symbiotic relationship between crocodiles and Egyptian plovers in rhyming verse.
All the creatures in the River Nile flee when they see the crocodile — all except one, that is. Unafraid, a little bird called a plover enters the crocodile's open mouth, showing an alleged symbiotic relationship between two species. This book with rhyming verse and realistic illustrations will entertain and educate.
'If you think a bird and a crocodile can't get along, think again...An unusual partnership in the natural world that should appeal to young animal lovers.' — Kirkus Reviews
