A bored chameleon wishes it could be more like all the other animals it sees, but soon decides it would rather just be itself. Cutouts along the edges of the pages display various animals and colors.
When two chameleon friends catch the same bug at the same time, they argue over who gets to eat it and cause chaos in the rain forest. When they almost get eaten by crocodiles, they learn how to work together again and to share.
Presents an introduction to chameleons, in simple text with illustrations, providing information on their physical characteristics, habitat, and behavior.
