"Being different ain't so bad..."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Leon the Chameleon is different to all the other chameleons. He doesn't like being different, but he finds out that it does have its advantages. My 3.5yr old loves this book, with all it's bright colours. It has taught him about opposite colours and that being different is a good thing.

Description

Leon the chameleon has a problem. When the other little chameleons turn green, yellow or blue - he turns red, purple or orange! Leon doesn't turn the opposite colour on purpose. He just can't help it. Being different makes Leon feel lonely. One day, the little chameleons go exploring and lose their way. As the parents anxiously search for their little ones, they suddenly spot a speck of colour far off in the distance. It's Leon! And thanks to his brilliant hue, the little chameleons are rescued. This time, being different makes Leon feel proud! 'Leon the Chameleon' is a charming story that also explores the basic elements of colour. At the end of the book, a colour wheel displays primary colours and their complementary hues. Ages 2-5 AUTHOR: It was in a design class taught by Michele Lemieux at the University of Quebec in Montreal that author and illustrator Melanie Watt created her first picture book, Leon the Chameleon, which was later published by Kids Can Press. Watt went on to create several more books, including the Learning with Animals collection and Augustine, which was named an ALA Notable Children's Book. Watt has also illustrated Where Does a Tiger-Heron Spend the Night? and Bearcub and Mama, which won the 2006 IRA Teachers' Choices Project. Colour illustrations
