Little Croc's Purse

Summary

One fine day Little Croc finds a lonely lost purse . . . and it's FULL of money!
Does he keep it and use the money for himself? Will he succumb to the temptation of some new shoes, a cool lemonade or the teasing of his friends? NO! Honourable Little Croc is off to find the owner. And when the owner of the purse lets him keep it and the money inside, he soon realises that being honest is its own best reward!

A brand new heart-warming tale from Dandylion creator, Lizzie Finlay!
