Publisher's Summary

READ BY EMILIA FOX. Melrose and Croc return in style in this beautiful adventure, full of tension and drama, from the internationally renowned, award-winning author-illustrator Emma Chichester Clark.

Melrose has planned a wonderful birthday for his great friend Croc: a stay at a villa by the sea, a wonderful tea and a lovely surprise. As Melrose goes out to get everything ready, Croc sits and waits, and waits. Wherever can Croc be? Finally, Croc discovers that his friend is in danger, but will he reach him in time to save him?

Critic Reviews

"Two irresistible new characters from the creator of the popular Blue Kangaroo series." (Winter edition, Primary Times)
"A heart-warming tale of how friendships begin… This book is a wonderful tactile experience, from the shimmery glittery cover… to the gentle watercolours inside, which are printed on the creamiest of papers." (The Irish Times)
"It delights children but adults will appreciate the period evocation of the festive-season cities and the off-season seaside." (The Sunday Times)
