Really really basic info; for a better Chameleon book at the same level try Chameleons by Imogen Kingsley.

[Miss Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

An elementary and up book about Chameleons including their types and specialities.

[Merrilyn Tucker · Rating 5 out of 5]

This ABDO Reptiles Kids book is perfect for the young non-reader and reader alike to dive into nonfiction. The big, page-size photos of chameleons are clear and colorful. In one photo, a human hand is helpfully shown in relation to the size of a chameleon. On the background of each photo page are images of chameleons or desert scapes. The photo of a baby chameleon just emerging from an egg is as sweet as can be. Kids and adults will have plenty to study just from the beautiful photos. The facing pages consist of two to three sentences of concise, informative narrative. The text offers interesting facts, such as not all chameleons change color and that a chameleon's tongue is as long as its body (a photo showing this amazing fact is worth taking a look at!). 24 pages of this hardbound book include table of contents, index, glossary, and an abdokids.com website (has a video, links, and craft projects on it). Every school library needs the Abdo Reptiles Kids series (Alligators, Iguanas, Komodo Dragons, Snakes, and Turtles) on their shelves.
