何度も図書館で借りていたものを購入。カラフルで0歳の娘も大好きだし、話の内容もほっこりするので本としては星５つ。ただ、バーゲンブックとは言え届いた時にカバーが破れていてページが折れていたのはとても残念でした。プレゼントにしたいのであれば、バーゲンでは買わないほうが良いと思います。

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.
