A very angry crocodile is shot by the ranger and its skin made into a handbag. The handbag retains the angry nature of the crocodile and is called Horrible Howard by the other handbags. Horrible Howard is purchased by an old lady but when he keeps spitting out her belongings she throws him out and he ends up in the rubbish dump. Because of his angry nature the other inhabitants of the rubbish dump avoid Horrible Howard and soon he feels lost and lonely. One day the paper bag explains to Horrible Howard that other people react to our behaviour and so we can affect the way that people behave towards us by our attitude towards them. But can Horrible Howard change his ways? A fun read with a simple message.
