FOllow the adventures of Ptoni, has Dad and the cat, Ptiddles, on their leaky old trading boat.

A special section at the back of the book gives notes on interesting facts about everyday life. A humorous introduction to life in Ancient Egypt. THE CRAFTY CROCODILE - When Dad's brother dies unexpectedly - he's been eaten by a crocodile - his widow finds herself in a bit of a fix and she calls on Dad and Ptoni for help. But that crocodile isn't far away!
