What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I saw it in the gift shop of the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris. It features a monkey in a cute little hat and diaper telling an alligator (I think) that he is using a book wrong as the alligator attempts to put the book to several different uses (laptop to send emails, a hat, etc.) . I know that this seems like a sillier request, but I made the mistake of not buying it and desperately want to find it for my little niece.

Your summary sounded so familiar. Then I found the book I was thinking of, and it's not exactly the same.

It was translated in french recently, it's not a french book, and it is a donkey, not an alligator.
There a version for younger kids too, where they wear diapers:

It's called "C'est un petit livre" in french

Something by Tomi Ungerer? He's French and writes children's books and animals appear in a lot of them.

Emily, are you still looking for this or did you find it?

Kudos to you, Miss Crustacean, for going through all of these old posts and checking up on them.

Thank you, Rosa. Sometimes we get lucky and bumping old posts gets something solved.
