Crunch is a friendly crocodile who loves to show off his dazzling smile. Crunch is kind, funny, and loves his big, sharp teeth. Yet every time he eats, food remains stuck between his teeth. He tries to floss but can't because of his giant claws. Crunch realizes he needs a true friend to help him, but sadly, no one dares to go near him. They all fear ending up in his big tummy. Crunch is so determined to find someone willing to help clean his teeth that he even asks a leopard for help. But every animal he meets is scared and runs away from him. One day, an unexpected little creature sees that Crunch is sad and decides to help him.
