Chameleons Are Cool: Read and Wonder

So long story short my kid wanted a chameleon for Christmas. Santa was not bringing a live chameleon for Xmas. LOL. So my kid got a stuffed animal chameleon and this book for Xmas instead. I read on the reviews before I bought the book that it was somewhat morbid and trying to say that if a chameleon is in captivity it doesn't live long and blah blah blah. So, this booked worked perfectly for us! It gave cool, fun facts about chameleons and yes it did say chameleons are better off left in the wild. Overall it did its purpose and my kid liked it.

The illustrations are amazing, and so is the text! I love this book and my 6 year old daughter does too. We got this, along with a chameleon stuffed animal, for her birthday and she was quite happy.This book does mention that chameleons are not to be kept as pets, because it's not the best for them. So if you have a pet chameleon, that might be a concern. That being said, I agree with the author and we don't have a chameleon, so it's fine for me.

I got this book for my 4yo grandson and we were reading it together. (We just got a baby panther chameleon) We were enjoying the pictures and the information but the author is very biased. While I do not argue that most animals are better left alone in the wild, telling a child that if he happens to have one, it is going to get sick and die. WTH? This little tid-bit in the "extra information" handwriting could have been done without. Fortunately, I read ahead and managed to read it a bit differently to my grandson, but this book, since returning it is so difficult, will be donated to a local library or whatever. I'll educate my grandkids on how to manage wildlife and what is ecologically sound, I do not need my grandkids in tears thinking their cherished pet is going to get sick and die because they have it as a pet. What a horrid, rotten thing to tell a kid.Remember, this is written as a children's book. My advice is you read any books you buy for your kids before you read it to them and if they happen to see it come out of the box and want to read it now, that you master the art of reading ahead. You know your kids, trust yourself.

Book is so cute, got it for my son who now has a pet!

This book has good illustrations and the information they provide is easy for elementary students to understand. I used this book to teach authors purpose and compare and contrast. Nonfiction picture books are my absolute favorite and my students also really enjoy them!!

Book was super cute, bright colors, big pictures words super easy for my 6 year old god son to read too

Great product

This is a book I'll buy again and again. A perfect companion to Eric Carle's The Mixed Up Chameleon.

Loved this book, needed it for my art club, we studied the beautiful pictures and the children then painted chameleons of their own.

Chameleons are Cool. Meine Enkelin lernt Englisch und das ist ein ganz einfaches, lustiges Buch für die ersten Worte. Super!
