This is the POP UP version of the book, The Incredible Book Eating Boy, that we read last week. There are lots of moving parts and pieces that "jump" off the page to help add an extra dimension to this funny story.
Chameleons' Colours is a book (translated from Japanese) that follows the adventures of a chameleon that is tired of changing colours all the time. He helps the other animals change colours too but there are problems and so, in the end, the animals realize that they were happy just the way they were. This is a good book to read and compare with the book Elmer in order to talk about what the main character learns in the story.
Elmer is a classic story that teachers have read aloud for over 20 years. We read this story to compare with the book, Chameleon's Colors. The main character has a patchwork of different colours on his skin, which makes him different from the other elephants. One day, Elmer covers himself in grey berry juice so he looks like the others, but his friends don't recognize him. Through a sweet storyline and gentle humour, the message of the story (that it is okay to be different) shines through.
