The book had a very curious title and made me wonder if the crocodile is going to be a ‘hero’ or a ‘villain’. And Nakoo-ji, the crocodile proved to be an interesting companion throughout. He undoubtedly remained the protagonist among all the varied characters – be it the cricket-crazy boys or their over-enthusiast dads who are in the team, not because of their cricketing prowess, but they provide bats, balls and pocket money.

The story is about a group of village and town boys, who share a common love for the game of cricket, coming together to play a cricket match on the riverbank. The river has a long-time resident Nakoo (meaning Nosey), a crocodile who is a regular spectator and sometimes a dampener, respectfully called by the boys as Nakoo-ji or Nakoo sir. The town boys team had to rope in interested dads for the sake of forming a good numbered team, even though the dads don’t play a good game.

Much like a good India-Pakistan cricket match, the game has its own twists and turns with Nakoo engrossing us with his actions. What I loved the most about this book is the way a skillful humour plays throughout the characters and the plot. Added to that are the beautiful illustrations. It is a light read and also a good story-telling material for pre-schoolers.

As for which team won the match, or to know if a match was ever played at all, grab the book. You will not be disappointed.

Answer 2

Answer:

Cricket for the Crocodile by Ruskin Bond is a humorous tale. Beside a park where city boys and village boys gather to play cricket matches in acute rivalry, is a river in which dwells Nakoo, the lazy crocodile. Whenever boys come around the river bank to find a lost ball or for just splashing in water, Nakoo feels insecure, nervous and thus angrily swims across to the other side of the bank. On one hand, he doesn’t like human beings disturbing his dwelling place, while on the other hand he wishes to devour their limbs that seem promisingly juicy flesh; moreover, Nakoo is fed up of eating fish and birds.
