The Enormous Crocodile

 Tuesday :  11.1.2011

 Today in class we studied a children's story by Roald Dahl titled  "The Enormous Crocodile". The story is very interesting as it tells us about the enormous crocodile which wants to eat children. The first thing that captured my attention was the rhyming of the sentences at the beginning of the story. Besides that, Roald Dahl also created new words to blend in so that it sounds like rhyming when listening to it. Dr. Jayakaran explained to us about this story while making some gestures for this story so that we are entertained while reading it. The illustrations of this story was fantastic and the story was quite funny as well. It tells us the challenges the crocodile had to go through just to eat children. It pretends to be a coconut tree, a see saw, and a bench so that it can get closer to the children. Then an elephant comes and swings the crocodile until it gets into the hot sun and dies. After listening to Dr. Jaya's telling this story , i just couldnt stop laughing. It was very entertaining.
