Additional A Color of His Own Information

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.

What Customers Say About A Color of His Own:

The elephant illustation is closer to brown than the gray they say it is. The black chameleon is closer to dark brown than black.

Yes, the storyline is wonderful and the illustrations are lovely. I thought it would be a meaningful way to help them learn their colors.

I bought this book for my young grandchildren after reading the reviews. And then it notes, "But in autumn the leaf turned yellow --and so did the chameleon," but the chameleon is a bright orange in the book.

However, the colors are misidentified. The book says that the chameleons "on lemons are yellow," but the color in the book is light green.

Plus, they say "Goldfish are red," yet the color of goldfish--even in this book--is more orange than red. So this book is sitting in a closet and I wasted $10 on it.

i LOVE this book.the chameleon is having self-worth issues, but with a friend's help, they feel better about themselves, and don't have to be alone:)

I love Leo Lioni and this is one of his prettiest books and is a favorite of my children. The artwork is beautiful and the story touching. I just bought a second copy because our original one is getting worn out.

This is a great book for people who want more than childish drivel to read to their infants.

OK, a lizard can't come up with a consistent color, but when he meets up with an older lizard, they decide to live the rainbow life together. All good and well, except- goldfish are freaking ORANGE, not red.There needs to be a reprint.
