This book is not in story form; it is more informational, telling all about Chameleons. The illustrations in this book are amazing. It gives a lot of information about these animals. I would use this book during science to introduce or aid in teaching about Tropical climates.
Chameleons Are Cool includes captivating facts about chameleons that children go crazy for! They loved the "funny noses" page and the page with the chameleon's long, sticky tongue reaching out for an insect.
The pages are colorful and interesting, the facts are intriguing and kid-friendly, and I actually learned a lot from it. Apparently, chameleons don't change color according to their surroundings, but according to their mood. The students I read this to absorbed all of these fun facts. Great...more

One of the most delightfully illustrated, factual picture books I've ever come across. There isn't a narrative as such but it makes a good storytime book as the pictures and facts are good for captivating young minds and provoking discussion. It's just a shame chameleons don't make interesting noises, but as the title says they are cool.
The subtitle of this book is "Read and Wonder" - and that aptly describes this text. The illustration is so engaging and the way that the facts about the chameleon are presented is so memorable and enjoyable. My son loved learning about these seemingly magical creatures and I loved learning with him. What a neat book!
What a neat book! This is a great book for children to learn about chameleons. There are many facts that fill this book, and could be used to supplement a lesson. I would reccomend this book for children in 1st to 3rd grade.
This book is ok. I wouldn't care to read it often but my sone enjoyed having it read to him. Some really colorful cartoon like pictures and fun facts about chameleons.
This book tells all about chameleons and what they can do. This book would be great to read to a class if you were going to do a science lesson on reptiles. It's more of an informational book, but I think it would still keep children's attention.
There are great chameleon illustrations!

This is a great book for kids to get real facts about Chameleons. It talks about where they live and goes through the different qualities they have. You can use this book for kids who love to learn about different kinds of animals. This is a good book for the 1st grade level.
