A Color of His Own shows students that even though the chameleon changed colors it was no different than any other chameleon. So students are no different than any other student. aswideman | Apr 7, 2009 |   This book is a good example of a fantasy picture book because the story could not happen in real life. A chameleon can’t talk and it cannot change into its color to many of the ones the one in the book did. This book is about a chameleon who wants to be like the other animals and stay one color. But he is a chameleon so he can change his color and he is not very happy about this but by the end the chameleon accepts himself for what he is.

After the journey the book took him through, however, he realized that this fact was not that bad and in fact, quite exciting. kmbrown1 | Mar 23, 2009 | good story about being different good moral lesson abmcenerney | Mar 10, 2009 | 0.041 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0679887857, Paperback)Every animal has a color of its own. "Parrots are green, elephants are gray, pigs are pink." But chameleons change color wherever they go. "On lemons they are yellow. In the heather they are purple." One chameleon is not pleased with his changeable appearance. He thinks, "If I remain on a leaf, I shall be green forever, and so I too will have a color of my own." Of course, what he doesn't take into account is the changes wrought by autumn, and soon the green chameleon is yellow, then red, and then tumbled to the ground for the long black winter night. It isn't until he befriends another older, wiser chameleon that our hero begins to find inner peace, even as his outer surface is transformed again and again.Leo Lionni, children's book creator extraordinaire, author of such beloved picture books as Frederick, Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse, Swimmy, and Inch by Inch, all Caldecott Honor winners, introduces color concepts in an exquisite and touching story. This small board book edition of the classic tale of self-acceptance and friendship will be a favorite for toddlers and parents alike.
