(2) K-3 Crocodile informs Monkey that he plans to eat his heart. Quick-thinking Monkey replies, "What a pity. I left it up in the tree!" Despite his size, Crocodile is no match for ingenious Monkey. McDermott uses paint and paper collage, shredding the edges of the brown paper to create a furry look for Monkey. An opening note explains more about the story and the art.
