The chameleon is feeling blue because he's lonely, so he goes and visits a yellow banana, pink cockatoo, swirly snail, brown boot, and so on. Each time, not only does he change his color to match the object or animal, but he also contorts himself into a shape that matches them.

A story about a chameleon who is sad because he just can't seem to find somewhere he fits in.

This book asks students to find the similarities and differences in the colors and shapes of the Chameleon and the object it is mimicking. The illustrations of this book are fun because the Chameleon mimics the objects very well. I think students would find this book humorous, inspiring, and relaxing.

In a cute way, this book tells you how a chameleon camouflages with anything that they want. It can be an item, or another animal. In the story the chameleon is trying to find a friend, but none of them really respond s to him. At the end of the story the chameleon finds someone like him. (

A chameleon is lonely so he tries to become any object he can until he realizes that its best to just be him.
