The tired diplomat
Big Croc
Little Croc’s older brother. He settles crocodile disputes, keeps a briefcase, and never meant to miss Saturday morning television with his best friend.
Cast
The crocs — and the humans
Talking crocodiles, a hamburger man, a zoo keeper, and one very tired owner of a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado.
The hungry one
Crazy Croc
Kind, impulsive, and hopeless with money. When he is left out of Saturday television, he decides to steal hamburgers. Crocodiles, he feels, have different rules.
More about Crazy Croc
The pool dreamer
Little Croc
The smallest croc, and the one who wants to live in Mr. Harper’s pool all the time. Hide-and-seek champion. Not built for long swamp marches.
The man with the Cadillac
Mr. Harper
A large, lonely man who loves sandwiches more than weekends. He shouts at the crocs from the TV room — until he notices he misses them.
The keeper who listens
Salim
Born in Africa, student of crocodiles, and the only human at Sunnyside Zoo who treats Crazy Croc as a friend. He has a family to feed, and a hard choice to make.
Hamburger stall, Oakwood Mall
Sid
Sid Junior runs the stall his father ran. He is fond of Crazy Croc, even when a visit means losing twenty-seven burgers. His English is a little strange. His burgers are not.
Worst zoo in Florida
Stonewall Grimmage III
Mr. Harper’s cousin and the owner of Sunnyside Zoo. He likes profit, rotten-fruit-proof tours, and shoes that look suspiciously like crocodile.
Poolhall, Tic-Toc, Rock’n’Roll & Chica
The rescue crew
A pool champion, a walking clock, the lead singer of The Alley-Gators, and the croc with the most radiant teeth in Florida. They do not leave a friend in a zoo.
