Don't Open that Box by Conor Mchale
Two boxes -- one large, one small -- arrive for Granny Lambert. But wily Belzoni, her cat, sees the note printed on the small box that reads: Don't Open that Box, Open this one first! Unfortunately Granny doesn't notice the sign and opens the big box. Out jumps a crocodile, and snap, snap, snap, Granny is gone. And Belzoni is next on the menu. Suddenly out of the box jumps a chicken, and with her help Belzoni soon gets to grips with the hungry croc.Brash, fast and exciting, with cartoon illustrations which mirror the comic quality of the text, it is typical of books intended to hook reluctant readers, especially young boys

Conor McHale was born in Dublin in 1969. Shortly before leaving school, he decided he would become an archaeologist. This decision caused his father to roar with laughter. It took him over ten years working in Irish archaeology to realise what the joke was. He lives in Dublin with his wife, Susannah, and their son, Oscar. He loves Rembrandt, hates celery and often loses his keys.
