Overview

A lively story about accepting and embracing change, filled with interactive surprises for little hands

Some changes can be quite important in life, which the chameleon discovers when he changes colors in order to hide from a snake, a wolf, and a crocodile. But sometimes one also has to change in order to be noticed—especially when a lovely lady chameleon enters the picture. This playful, hands-on journey to learning that change can be a positive thing features color dials and pull-tabs in addition to gorgeous, inviting illustrations.

Editorial Reviews

This shiny, rainbow-hued book should prove exciting to little eyes and fingers, and there may be a lesson about love to be learned, too, for those who are ready for it.

The New York Times - Sarah Harrison Smith

"Two cardboard wheels are incorporated into the book, letting Leon fully demonstrate why he's called the rainbow chameleon – he's so good he can even mimic the barcode on the back cover. A rainbow with labeled colors adds an educational element to this entertaining story." —Publishers Weekly
"Leon the chameleon camouflages himself to escape from various predators as he searches for his friend Carmen. . . . For as long as they last, the amusing gimmicks serve this clever and colorful tale well." —Kirkus Reviews

Leon the chameleon camouflages himself to escape from various predators as he searches for his friend Carmen.As readers pull tabs on several of the pages, a snake, a wolf and a crocodile appear. The action also causes Leon, whose body is a die-cut hole, to cleverly change color to match his surroundings with a sliding panel that slots the background hue and pattern into place, with only Leon's yellow eye still visible. When Leon calls out to Carmen and expresses his love for her, the object of his affection blushes to a bright shade of pink (even though the text claims she turns red) so he can spot her. The duo finds a rainbow and plays the "rainbow colors game," each changing to match the shades of the spectrum, which is effected with a spin dial. The cleverest moment occurs on the back cover when a chameleon develops vertical, black stripes to match the barcode. The simple, repetitive text clearly explains the action. While the pull-tabs and spin dials work smoothly when new, they are not likely to survive robust play since the pages are thinner-than-normal board-book stock.For as long as they last, the amusing gimmicks serve this clever and colorful tale well. (Board book. 2-4)
