Long and thin is a box decorated to look like it’s come to you by post, containing a long and thin book adorned with our beloved crocodile. The cover is hard cardboard and when you open and shut it you might feel like he just snapped his jaws at you. After questioning what crocodile tears are, we are taken on an adventure to Egypt in a crocodile trapping How-To. Andre’s pen and ink styled illustrations in only black, green, and orange make this funny book nostalgic and unique.
