This is a book about a sad chameleon that has no color of his own. He changes colors anytime his surroundings change. He finds his solution in another chameleon that could always be the same color as him.

I just love chameleons! They are so fascinating, and children just love learning about their ever-changing colors. This story tells about a chameleon that does not feel special. He wants to find a color of his own, but it seems as thought he just can’t. He feels alone, and hopeless at times until he finds another chameleon friend just like him. Together they find happiness in being different, and that you just have to accept who you are and be happy.
This book is such a good science resource. One could tie it to a lesson about animals and how they are all different. The book introduces various animals that all could connect with a science lesson. Tigers, elephants, fish, birds, and pigs are introduced. It talks about how each animal has it’s own color. The book also discusses the environment, and how chameleons can camouflage themselves with their surroundings. The book talks about the seasons as well. The chameleon goes through the seasons trying to disguise himself with the environment but it changes as the season does.
This book is good for students to learn about science standards. I would recommend this book to early elementary classrooms because it is a rather simple book to read. It offers vibrant watercolor illustrations, and a cute chameleon as the main character. The book also offers life lesson, in that you don’t have to pretend to be something you are not, you just have to be happy being you! ( )

Genre: This book is a good example of fantasy fiction because the chameleon makes a new friend and talks with him.

Plot: The Chameleon feels bad that he is the only one who does not have his own color. He sits on a leaf to try to remain only one color, but the leaf changes colors, then falls off. He meets another Chameleon and they become friends. Now Chameleon does not feel so bad

1.動物にはそれぞれの色があるのに、カメレオンは周りの色と同じ色に変わってしまい、自分の色がないと悩んでいました。
別のカメレオンに出会い行動を共にし、色は変わっても2匹は同じ色で幸せになりましたという話。
自分の色　'A color of MY own' 深い意味のある言葉だと思いました。

2.If I remain on a leaf,I shall be green forever,and so I too will have a color of my own.

This book is about a little chameleon who cannot understand why he does not have a color of his own. He goes on a search to find his own color. Finally he finds a friend that changes colors the same way he does and they are friends forever.

I like this book because of the way the author describes how most animals have a color of their own, but chameleons change colors with their environment. It would be very easy for a child to relate to this book. I also like the lesson about self acceptance that this book teaches.

In the classroom I may read this book aloud as a part of a science lesson about environments. I may also get a chameleon as a class pet and change the environment weekly to show how it would change.
