內容簡介:
Poor Solomon is looking for some fun but no one wants to play.
The dragonflies tell him to buzz off, the storks get in a flap, and
the hippo? Well, the less said about the hippo, the better! But
then somebody else starts causing trouble ...and for once it is NOT
Solomon. Could it be the perfect pal for a lonely crocodile? A
snappy, happy, stunning new book from the award-winning Catherine
Rayner.
