This is a gorgeous picture book that tells the story of a chameleon who, unlike his siblings, cannot change colour and therefore faces certain dangers. Eventually, Colin finds that it is this very difference that makes himself special and helps keep his family safe from a greater threat. 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.
