While in the jungle trying to find the perfect model to paint, Stewart encounters various wild animals who are willing to pose for his painting, but Stewart's demanding personality causes problems and so only the crocodile, with his own plan in mind, is willing to put up with Stewart while he works.
I found this in Ireland. My goal while I was there was to find an interesting/beautiful Irish picture book - something in the Oliver Jeffers family... This one is by Dial, but the author is Irish and the illustrator is from the UK. The illustrations are bright and vibrant and wild animals get to revenge themselves on a rude little boy. (Picture books were children are eaten tend to be some of my favorites.)
