Colin's humorous predicament will appeal to all young children and their parents. Readers will be rewarded with a compelling story, plenty of pictures and drama to entertain, and the message that "difference" is simply a source of other gifts.
Colin the Chameleon tells the story of a chameleon who, unlike his siblings, cannot change colour and the dangers this poses. Eventually, Colin finds that it his very difference that makes himself special and helps keep his family safe from a greater threat.
