A narrating chameleon who has quite a high opinion of himself doesn’t appreciate his camouflage capability: “I am a KING! But how can I command a king’s respect…when color-changing skin makes me so tricky to detect?!” The chameleon proceeds to regale readers with a series of springy rhymes that offer hints about his location in the corresponding outdoor scenes—e.g., “Don’t stare at boring dirt mounds while I’m looking oh-so fine! / YOU BETTER COME AND FIND ME NOW! I’m near that leafy vine!” (Readers will likely need to make use of the answer key: King Chameleon is devilishly hard to spot.) The latter part of the book is given over to a be-careful-what-you-wish-for story in which the chameleon rolls around in the mud in order to become visible to readers, but this decision also attracts the attention of (uh-oh) a hawk. (The idea is that the reader—the chameleon’s “friend”—saves the day.) Okon is making a hard sell for King Chameleon as an outlandishly fun picture-book star, but it’s the seek-and-finds that are this offering’s calling card. The art has a somewhat garish look, although it isn’t ill suited for a book designed to be visually challenging. The story closes out with further items to go back and search for.
