A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni

2.0

Every animal has its own color. Elephants are gray and parrots are green. But the chameleons change wherever they go to blend in with the environment. One poor chameleon only wants a color just for himslef, so he comes up with a plan. He will stay on a leaf and be green all the time. Excpet then the leaf turns yellow, and then reddish brown...and the chameleon of course changes with it. Will he ever get his own color?

I'm so-so about this one. It irks me that "goldfish are red." Huh? News to me. I also know little about chameleons, but I really doubt that they are able to turn into tiger's stripes and polka-dot mushrooms. It's a cute story ultimately about friendship, but the inconsistencies are annoying to me.
