Step into a whimsical world where animals and humans cross paths in the most unexpected, hilarious, and heartwarming ways. In The Crocodile Who Ate Butter Chicken for Breakfast and Other Stories, award-winning children’s author Khyrunnisa A. delivers a delightful collection of bite-sized short stories.

It serves as a comforting, screen-free sanctuary that keeps young readers thoroughly entertained while gently cultivating a deep love for nature and wildlife.

The book introduces readers to unforgettable characters, like young Karthik, whose obsession with big, dull-colored birds of prey leads to wild excitement over getting a birthday kite.

Written in a remarkably clear, fluid, and engaging voice, Khyrunnisa brings the same signature wit that made her famous Butterfingers series a household name across India. Most of these stories first appeared in the popular children’s magazine Dimdima, making them perfectly paced for bedtime reading or independent young readers. Whether it is a touching moment of animal companionship or a laugh-out-loud comedy of errors, this anthology is an indispensable choice for family libraries, school desks, and animal lovers of all ages.
