A Color of His Own

Summary: A Charmeleon Look at Colors
Review: A charming look at colors through the experience of a resourceful chameleon who tries to find his own color. The resonant blend of this fable about identity and acceptance, Leonni`s excellent sense of fun, and the simple, bold, print illustration reminds me a bit of My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss, a colorful book about feelings which we also enjoy.

Review: A Color of His Own is a wonderful beginning book for young children that teaches children colors. This book also stresses the importance of being and individual and does so in a way that young children can understand. In this book, a young chameleon searches high and low for his own color. He decides to stay on a leaf so he will be green forever. Soon, fall comes, the leaves change, and so does he. Sadly, he leaves his leaf and runs into another older and wiser chameleon. He tells the chameleon about his troubles, and the older comforts him and suggests that the two stay together. "We will still change color wherever we go," says the wiser chameleon, "but you and I will always be alike."
The objects and animals in this book are presented very clearly with uncluttered illustrations. Each object or animal is clearly identified by its color on each particular page. Lionni does a great job of using clear, simple language to introduce each color. The artwork is unique and catches the attention of young children.
Overall, A Color of His Own, is a great book to use to teach young children the concept of colors. Lionni's simple language and inventive style of illustrations make this book the success it is. This book serves as a great teaching tool to use with young children.

Review: As a library clerk for the past two years, I have loved this book for a long time, and it's absolutely my favorite. Aside from the fact that Lionni was a giften writer and illustrator (who will be sadly missed), I love this book because it's a story about being accepted, and learning to accept yourself. As if any of us know what color we are, literally or metaphorically. The most we can hope for is to find someone with whom we can share all our different colors.

Summary: Terrific tale!
Review: Join this charming chameleon on the road to discovery where he searches for a "color of his own." He learns to adapt to different "colored" environments while feeling left out, and along the way befriends a fellow chameleon and gains lasting companionship and happiness. This delightful board book captures babies attention with simple content and colorful illustrations, while teaching young children about feelings of belonging, friendship, compassion, and the most obvious - colors: green, red, gray, pink, yellow, and purple. This is a terrific tale! One-year and up.

Review: This book was so very good. I loved it and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. I love the pictures because they're so colorful and full. The story line is very good it tells the tall of a lonely chameleon who looks for a way to have his own color. The chameleon has a good time looking for a color of his own but he is sad because he's the only one who changes. To find out what happened to the chameleon buy the book and read it. It's a grand old story and I truly truly loved it. Its so good.
