5歳の息子に買いました。話の内容が5歳くらいでちょうどいいかもしれません。しかしながら絵がきれいなのでみているだけでもいいかも知れません。

Now available in a board book edition, the charming story of a chameleon searching for his own color, who ends up finding a true friend. Elephants are gray. Pigs are pink. Only the chameleon has no color of his own. He is purple like the heather, yellow like a lemon, even black and orange striped like a tiger! Then one day a chameleon has an idea to remain one color forever by staying on the greenest leaf he can find. But in the autumn, the leaf changes from green to yellow to red . . . and so does the chameleon. When another chameleon suggests they travel together, he learns that companionship is more important than having a color of his own. No matter where he goes with his new friend, they will always be alike. Colorful illustrations and spare prose make this charming love story perfect for a board book edition to introduce the heartwarming fables of Lionni to toddlers. 「自分の色」が無いと嘆いていたカメレオンは考えました。ずっと葉っぱの上にいれば、緑のままでいられると… 単純で本質的なことを気づかせてくれる作品です。
