Blue Chameleon by Emily Gravett

A unique examination of colour is provided courtesy of Gravett as the reader is joined by a chameleon who changes colour (and shape) to fit in. The simple language and simple illustrations belie the sophisticated teachings of this picture book which introduces young readers to shapes and colours in an attractive and arresting way. It is equally suited to toddlers learning their first words, as it is to pre-schoolers and even primary-aged children as they develop a deeper understanding of colour and shape and an appreciation of a chameleon’s unique ability to adapt to its surroundings. Another hit by the Kate Greenaway Medal winner.
