A Colorful Picture Book for Kids Ages 4-9

She uses reds, yellows, greens, and blues to make herself heard. What will this young critter do when all her tints are taken?

Timid Chameleon feels sad. She’s worried her friends don’t appreciate her or pay attention when she says, “No.” And when they take all her colors without giving them back, the poor thing loses her ability to express herself!

Now this little lizard that communicates with her colors is frustrated, because she can’t tell anyone how she feels. And with the jungle party coming up fast, she and her friend Flamingo struggle with the right words to ask for her beautiful rainbow hues to be returned.

Can Chameleon find her voice and stand up for what she wants?

This delightful parable shows kids how to be assertive from an early age, showing them how to balance their own needs with those of friends.

The Colorless Chameleon is a gorgeously illustrated children’s picture book, great for kindergartners and up, and their teachers. If you or your child likes positive lessons, cute creatures, and entertaining adventures, then you’ll adore this forest-full of fun by Hayley Irvin, Rachel Bostick, and Cassidy Reynolds.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A lizard stands up for herself in this picture book. A creative, wonderfully illustrated tale emphasizing a valuable theme." - Kirkus


"The Colorless Chameleon, written by Rachel Bostick and Hayley Irvin, and illustrated by Samantha Jo Phan, is a colorful children's picture book. The Colorless Chameleon...is cleverly written in a way so that children will understand Chameleon and relate to her problem (even some adults may relate). It's important for kids to learn how to use their words to make themselves understood and this book teaches that lesson in a simple and fun way. Samantha Jo Phan's lovely illustrations are well done and practically tell the story on their own. The Colorless Chameleon...is an adorable children's book with an important message." - IndieReader


"Even though this is a simple picture book, it instills the important message that children must use their words to be heard and understood. Heaven knows that gaining the courage and clarity of purpose to confront an uncomfortable situation and speak up when needed is a difficult undertaking even for many adults. So imagine how intimidating a task this could be for young children, and of course, a little chameleon. The writing is clever and simple, and allows children to relate to Chameleon's dilemma. Also, the vivid illustrations by Samantha Jo Phan help children engage with the story and easily follow its theme." - BookTrib

From the Back Cover

Oh no, Chameleon has lost her colors! And with a party coming up, shewants to get them back and soon. But how? The answer is surprisinglysimple - just ask!

What a great deal!!
I was asked to read this book and review it on Amazon. In exchange for my time, we got a copy of the book for our library. All I can say is I got the better end of this deal. I have posted three pics on here so you can see the vivid artwork in the book.Does chameleon have some friends who don't wait for the answer to their questions? Chameleon's inability to stand up for himself helps the story along. After talking to flamingo Chameleon realizes what he has to do.Cute story and a great way to teach a lot of character lessons with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great children's book
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2020

This book helped to show both my 7 and 10 year olds about even when you have little to always share. I thought the book had a great message and kept them entertained for the whole book. They asked questions I thought to be insightful and allowed for us to discuss the book's lessons while keeping it the moment. The second time through we each read a different character 's line which made it an even more enjoyable experience for my kids and myself.

This book is an amazing way to teach children about the proper way to borrow and share. I also love that the Flamingo, which is my 8 year old daughters favorite animal, comforted and encouraged Chameleon to talk about her feelings and to let her friends know how she felt. Very inspirational and educational for both of my girls who are 11 and 8 on how friends can take advantage of your kindness. Thanks to Hayley, Rachel and Cassidy.

This was a very cute and colorful story that helps children understand the power of communication, feelings and conversations. This is a great story to use when talking with children about finding your voice and having difficult conversations with friends about your feelings. The illustrations are vibrant and bright which makes the story that much more appealing to children. It was fun to read and I love the lesson it teaches.

I loved the story. The illustrations were unique. I am not sure what age group the book was meant for due to some of the larger words and story line but I really enjoyed reading it. I learned that Chameleons come in different colors and some are very colorful. Great team work!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a Good Book That Has Several Hidden Learning Opportunities.
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2021
Verified Purchase
The Colorless Chameleon is a quick read, and a great book for teaching a child all sorts of things. The main idea of the story is to show children that it's okay to ask for what they want and need, and it shows them how to respect each other's feelings in the process. It also teaches them about various animals, colors, and the value of friends (including parents) who will listen to them and give them advice. For the first read through, this book should be read with an adult who can help explain what's going on in the story, answer questions that the child may have, or react to comments that they make as they process what's happening with all of the animals. It is a great introduction to a discussion about sharing, boundaries, and how to stand up for what you need.
