Summary
Once there was a very special chameleon...The Colourblind Chameleon is the debut title from up and coming author/illustrator duo Laura Kantor and Sarah Ray.
This is a colourful and imaginative tale of a chameleon who doesn't fit in with the rest. He realises that it's not just good to be different... it's a lot more fun!
Delight in the rhyming verses, vibrant colours and hilarious drawings as you are taken on a wonderful journey with a special little chameleon (wearing fabulous pants).
I was given an electronic copy of this book to review. I did read it with my children, who are 12 and 9 so older than the target audience, and we all thought it was cute. It's a fun story which shows children that, even if they different than the "norm," they can always find a place to fit in and others just might come join them! The pictures are colorful and the rhyming is fun to read. This is a great book for young children!
