by Emily Gravett. Hodder Children's Books, hardback, 10.99

A lonely chameleon changes shape, colour and the patterns on his skin, all in a desperate attempt to find a new friend. But neither the pink cockatoo, the spotty ball nor the swirly snail want to know him. Friendship comes in the end, when he meets another gloriously coloured chameleon. The text is minimal, but the quirky choice of would-be friends and the expressive illustrations by an award-winning illustrator make this a wonderful book, both humorous and poignant.
