Reviews
"Two cardboard wheels are incorporated into the book, letting Leon fully demonstrate why he's called the rainbow chameleon - he's so good he can even mimic the barcode on the back cover. A rainbow with labeled colors adds an educational element to this entertaining story." -- Publishers Weekly
"Leon the chameleon camouflages himself to escape from various predators as he searches for his friend Carmen. . . . For as long as they last, the amusing gimmicks serve this clever and colorful tale well." Kirkus Reviews
"This shiny, rainbow-hued book should prove exciting to little eyes and fingers, and there may be a lesson about love to be learned, too, for those who are ready for it." Sarah Harrison Smith, nytimes.com
