Illustrated by
Donna Perrone.
Salome rescues a stranded crocodile, who then threatens to eat her. However, with a pigeon's help, she tricks her way out of his clutches. In a note describing his "cross-cultural theme," Mollel places his tale in contemporary Tanzania and includes words and music for Salome's song. Though some of the illustrations are awkward, they feature vibrant colors and an appropriately wicked crocodile.
