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. 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
"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." —Sarah Harrison Smith, nytimes.com
