About the Book

One morning, Falguni the fruitseller finds a crocodile in a ditch. "Catch that crocodile!" shout the terrified townspeople. But who will do it? Probin policeman with his stick? Can Doctor Dutta do the trick? Will Bhayanak Singh drag it away? Or is the crocodile here to stay? But then there is another thought: Who says a crocodile should be caught? Catch that Crocodile! is another classic picture book from the award-winning team behind Tiger on a Tree. Acclaimed children's poet Anushka Ravishankar tells the hilarious nonsense-verse tale of a rampant reptileand his hapless assailants, imparting a subtle conservationist message along the way.

About the Author :
One of our most prolific children's book writers, Anushka Ravishankar has slowly but surely been securing her status as one of the best children's writers of her generation. Her expansive talent shines most brilliantly in her works of nonsense verse -- jubilant and artful adaptations of this difficult genre to the cadences of Indian English. Said to be the pioneer of this form, she has earned national and international acclaim for her nine verse books released over the last decade. Rights to her books have been snapped up around the world and she has over 12 awards to her name. Her books owe their success not only to her fabulous verse, but to her willingness to collaborate and experiment with many different artists and designers -- whether working with Swiss textile artists or veteran Indian illustrators, the best aspect of Anushka's work is the cohesion she creates between the text, typography and artwork of each scene. Pulak Biswas is one of the pre-eminent children's book illustrators in India. He started his artistic career over 40 years ago and worked for several advertising agencies until 1981, when he became a freelance artist. He now focuses on painting and children's book illustration, which he considers his dream vocation.

Review :
A glorious poem, matched with bold, folk-art illustrations, tells the dramatic and entertaining story of how the important people of a town set about trying to catch a crocodile and fail completely.They are shown up when a little girl leads it quietly back to the water...As in all the best stories, it is not bravery but understanding that is needed..This is a memorable and catchy verse story. Guardian A relatively simple story told in quite fun verse and unusual illustrations which evoke woodcut or lino prints. The colour combination is dramatic as the black and green illustrations appear on a slightly mottled pale yellow background colour. Some playful use of typography adds to the overall effect of drama. I like its quirkiness. Books for Keeps A swirling combination of text and illustration each feeding into the other. .. a real joy Carousel Delightfully illustrated, witty verse story. Ibby Link
