I'd Really Like to Eat a Child by Sylviane Donnio
3.0
Hmm. I love the title. I love the premise. I love the name Achilles for the little crocodile’s name. The illustrations are cute. I really liked it as I was reading it.
However, when I’d finished it, it seemed a bit thin to me; I really wanted more to the story.
I’m also not quite sure about the intended audience for this book. I’d screen it before reading it to 3-4 year olds. I think 5-8 year olds might feel more glee than fear, but it depends on the individual child. The twist at the end is funny for me as an adult but possibly not so reassuring for young children.
I would never have passed on that chocolate cake, I have to say.
