We received this book to give an honest review for a blog tour.
This was a fun rhyming book. That had me and K laughing at the different colors that this poor chameleon would change into.
K's favorite part was when there was a blast of color, and at the end where he is surrounded by all the clothes left behind.
The illustrations were done wonderful, bright and fit with the story just perfectly.
Just goes to show you that you can be different and still have fun.
Perfect for all ages.
