Leon the Chameleon
PreS-Gr 3-Leon has a problem. While chameleons normally camouflage themselves to blend into their environments, he becomes the opposite color, known as the complementary or contrasting color on a color wheel. This creates a challenge for a youngster who wants to be accepted by his neighbors. One day, they decide to go exploring, and he secretly follows them out of the forest. When they become lost, it is Leon's unique color that leads to their rescue, teaching him an important lesson about individuality. Young children will enjoy the brightly hued cartoon illustrations and will understand the message about appreciating differences. A brief introduction to the color wheel is provided on the last page.-Maura Bresnahan, Shawsheen School, Andover, MACopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
