A CROC CALLED CAPONE

Australian author Jonsberg packs a serious environmental message—that humans are responsible for messing up the world—into this hilarious story. In their second adventure, friends Markus and Dylan are spending the Christmas holiday in the Northern Territory of Australia. Blackie, the farting dog, orders the eco-warriors to help stop the senseless killing of salt-water crocodiles for sport. Narrator Stig Wemyss charges through this fast-paced story using a variety of voices that imbue each character with personality. Listeners will laugh at Markus's hilarious observations of his older sister, Rose, and her friend, Ci Ob Han (Siobhan). Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish.
