What to Focus On

  • Shel Silverstein was an American writer, poet, cartoonist, songwriter, and playwright.
  • He lived from 1930 to 1999.
  • He is especially known for children's poems and books.
  • The Crocodile is the suffering main character.

  • The poem depends on the strong contrast between them.
  • The crocodile visits the dentist for a toothache.
  • The crocodile opens its jaws very wide.
  • The dentist climbs inside the crocodile's mouth.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The dentist is a kind and careful character who helps the crocodile sincerely.

The crocodile forces the dentist into its mouth at the beginning.

The line about SNAP only means the dentist was surprised, not that the crocodile shut its jaws.
