Bookish young Edward, who learned to read in SANTA'S BOOK OF NAMES and taught pirates to read in EDWARD AND THE PIRATES, is back in a new literary adventure, this time featuring none other than the Lord of the Jungle himself - Tarzan! Edward spends all his free time reading everything he can, but his favourite stories are about Tarzan. One day, Edward heads to his favourite reading spot, but he becomes so absorbed in his book that he doesn't notice what is happening...and soon an enormous crocodile is coming right at him! What happens next will inspire the imagination of every reader, young and old.
