Little Shoko and the Crocodile

The story is a charming folktale that I have recreated. There are many versions of this story told all over the world. In this rendition the setting is the jungle of Southern Africa. Children will find the little monkey called Shoko very fascinating. He is the innocent hero, sweet and trusting. The crocodile is the master of trickery who grooms the little monkey by making up stories about the happenings on the other side of the river. Eventually, the little monkey prevails over the treacherous advances of the crocodile. At the end of the story there are questions about lessons learned. The book also provides tips on how to identify grooming tactics used by child predators and on how cyber predators operate.
