crocodile's masterpiece (h.c.a. #4)

crocodile is quite the artist...he paints pictures of all sorts of scenery. but elephant isn't sure which picture he wants to liven up his living room. crocodile promises to paint elephant something extra special...but after a week, crocodile gives him a blank canvas. elephant uses his imagination to create all sorts of different pictures on crocodile's masterpiece. this is a fun story and i like max velthuijs' (hans christian andersen illustrator) simple, bright illustrations.
