Peggy's family is hosting a barbecue for their neighbours, the Dawsons. Peggy isn't too sure about those Dawson boys. But she's delighted when an unexpected crocodile invites himself to tea...with unexpected consequences!

'I reckon Kim is Australia's Roald Dahl in the making and Sara the next Quentin Blake. What a team!' -- award-winning author Kirsty Murray

'Acton's mad-dash, cartoon-style illustrations bear a family resemblance to Quentin Blake's; their light touch is nicely suited to Kane's pokerfaced storytelling.' Publishers Weekly, US

'Loose, expressive watercolour and ink illustrations balance the understated, droll tone of this quirky story...This gently subversive picture book about irksome dinner guests receiving their just desserts will entertain parents and children alike.' Magpies
