(2) K-3 I, Crocodile is a view of Napoleon's Egyptian campaign and its aftermath by a wily, self-important observer--a plump aquatic reptile with literary ambitions and a flair for drama. Taken to Paris along with other plundered Egyptian artifacts, our hero finds himself unceremoniously installed in a fountain. The text is reportorial in tone, a perfect complement to the extravagant, expressive illustrations.
