Blue Chameleon

Bibliographic Information: Gravett, E. (2010). Blue Chameleon. Illus. Emily Gravett. New York, NY: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers.

Brief Annotation: Lonely chameleon changes his color to try to find a friend.

Genre: Animal Fantasy, Picture Storybook

Grade Level: PreK - 2

Readers who will like this book: Anyone who has ever felt lonely and tried to find a friend.

Rating/Response: 4 out of 4. As with so many of Gravett's other books, the front and back endpages tell more of the story. Sparse text with vividly colored illustrations help the reader to discern chameleon's feelings.

One question I would ask before a read aloud: What does it feel like to be lonely?
