Kissed By A Croc

Adventurer, storyteller, traveller, John Lever has a dry, laconic wit and a life-long love of crocodiles. For almost half a century the crocodile has fascinated him; he counted, cajoled and courted them as a wildlife officer in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea, before returning home to Australia to establish the first commercial crocodile farm in outback Queensland. As the owner of Koorana Crocodile Farm, home to more than 3000 crocodiles, John knows almost everything there is to know about the Australian 'Salty'. Kissed by a Croc is the story of a very big life lived among very big crocs. This is the story of the original crocodile man

Bushie meets crocs. John Lever is one of the outback's seriously tough characters. He owns Australia's largest croc farm that's home to 3000 saltwater crocs. Meet John Lever - adventurer, storyteller, traveller and owner of Koorana Crocodile Farm - and one of the world's foremost experts in the behaviour and management of Crocodylus porosus, the Australian saltwater crocodile. For almost half a century the crocs have fascinated John Lever; he courted, counted, cajoled and captured them as a wildlife officer in the remote waterways of Papua New Guinea, before returning home to Australia to establish the first commercial crocodile farm in outback Queensland. Along the way he has accumulated some great tales - like the time he wrestled an unrestrained croc while flying at 4000 feet - and knows more about the Australian salty than just about anyone.

The rules of the game are very simple: you've got to kiss the Little Crocodile! Mwah! Just one thing... don't wake him up!

Lift the flaps to find the sounds animals make.

The story of a little croc with a big heart. The little crocodile would like a family to play with and to cuddle. But whenever he approaches, the other animals all shout, 'Snip-o-dile, snap-o-dile, very scary crocodile!', and the poor little crocodile is left all alone. Will he ever find someone to give him a lovely, snuggle, crocodile kiss?

Humour.

Two equally tough crocodile bullies undergo an attitude adjustment when the toughest croc of all arrives in their swamp.
