From the publisher: The Bad Guy from Cairo may be in jail, but his Big Bad Brother has kidnapped little Jane Alison Crocodile and taken her to his Exotic Animal Farm in Louisiana. He better watch out, because Bill and Pete are heading to the rescue on board the Cleopatra, bound for New Orleans! But Pete gets caught by the Rich Lady halfway through the voyage, and Bill is on his own. With the help of Bubba and his Gator cousins, Bill still manages to rescue little Jane Alison, find Pete, and get a big surprise! Pete Go Down the Nile is a hilarious romp that takes William Everett Crocodile (Bill) and his toothbrush bird buddy Pete from the Nile to the Mississippi, in their first visit to the United States.
