Preview: Hear it

The first in a line of adventures within theNational Geographic Kids Chapters series, Crocodile Encounters will surely prove to be one of the most exciting. Follow along with National Geographic explorer Brady Barr as he crawls into a muddy hole just barely big enough for his shoulders, and comes face to face with thirteen crocodiles! Laugh out loud as you learn how to catch a crocodile using shoe laces and underpants. Read in anticipation to find out what happens when you put a 600lb crocodile on an airplane in just a flimsy wooden crate. These actionpacked stories and more will engage readers and inspire them to go out and explore their own world.Stories include: Undercover Croc, in which Brady becomes a crocodile, by donning a speciallydesigned protective croc suit, and infiltrates a group of Nile crocodiles in Tanzania. Toy Story, in which he uses (and loses) a radiocontrolled car with video camera, in a hilarious failed attempt to capture a Nile crocodile in South Africa. Deep Dark Denin an attempt to relocate a group of crocodiles causing problems to neighboring villagers in Costa Rica, Brady finds himself underground in a deep muddy hole with thirteen angry crocs. Croc in a Box, Brady tries to move a giant, troublesome croc from Uganda safely to an American zoo, but discovers the croc is much stronger than the sturdy wooden box that has been built to contain him.
