　　Bursting with imagination, this sequel to the award-winning Open Very Carefully, is full of interactive fun.

　　Carter, our cross crocodile hero is back, and he's NOT happy. He's stuck in another book and all he wants to do is find his way home, but he can't get there by himself. He needs YOUR help!

　　In this unique, interactive picture book, with cut-out holes throughout, children are encouraged to take part in the story, to create a door in the page and use their imagination to guide Carter into new worlds, from stormy seas to hot deserts and icy lands. But will that cranky croc and the little friends he's made along the way ever find their way home?

　　A hilarious story with cut-out holes throughout that's great fun for the reader, but bad news for a cross crocodile!

　　From the winner of the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize 2014.
