The Urban Crocodile's Travels

Old crocodile Gaspard lived to be 107 years old, leading a peaceful and happy life, with days passing uneventfully. But one morning, he suddenly felt everything had changed. Gaspard strongly felt that he had to leave the city and venture out into the wide world. And so, he embarked on an unknown journey. He became a pilot, flying planes over vast oceans; he dived into the deepest seas, marveling at the wondrous blue world; he reached the ends of the earth, admiring the polar lights, and met many friends along the way… What kind of journey was this exactly?
Whether to stay comfortably in one's comfort zone or to bravely venture far, let's see what this 107-year-old crocodile did. This is a wonderful story that celebrates courage and daring, a book about leaving one's usual routine, discovering and unleashing one's potential, and continuously exploring the unknown world.
Young artist Laura Fuchs uses a realistic style, delicate brushstrokes, warm tones, and rich details to create an astonishingly beautiful world for a city crocodile's life. Polar expeditions, sea voyages, plane crashes – Gaspard Amundsen's story perhaps pays homage to the incredibly brilliant life of the famous Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen.
