The Crafty Chameleon - Funny children's book for self esteem - Hardback

A book that is equally funny and heartwarming, with beautiful illustrations done by the author herself. Meet Cody Chameleon, a unique sort of business entrepreneur, who is looking to make an �honest living� by selling various things from the back of his van� squawks, stripes, even wings.

Cody Chameleon has a thriving business. His clients really believe in his promises and they end up buying things they don�t actually need. Imagine a lion who buys a roar button, a bear who ends up wearing a fake fur coat, or a leopard with painted dots. What do all these animals have in common? They all deal with low self-esteem, falling prey to the sparkling promises of the crafty chameleon. Where will his business endeavors take him? And what will happen once his clients realize they don�t need the junk he sold? It�s all in the book, you just have to read it.

My daughter loved this story and I was equally excited. We are always on the lookout for books with inspiring stories and we were happy to come across this particular one. I found the idea behind the story to be both original and funny. I am sure other kids will love it, this is the perfect book for bedtime, the kind they will want to read over and over again.

The book offers several valuable lessons. Here is a story about self-acceptance, the perfect choice for kids who are dealing with self-esteem issues. The message? We are all unique and we should love ourselves exactly as we are. It also introduces children to the value of friendship, teaching them that kindness can make all the difference.

When it comes to including, early education is key and this story offers the perfect opportunity to approach such serious topics with our little bookworms. It is also funny, and our kids need humor to escape current reality, at least for a few moments. My daughter had a lot of fun reading this book the first time. Children love rhyming books, and they remember stories written in this style more easily.

This a wonderful book, with many lessons to remember and apply in everyday life. As parents, it is up to us to introduce kids to the right values and make sure they integrated these as their own. Books like �The Crafty Chameleon� can help us do just that and so much more!

This story is so fun and amusing, but at the heart is an important and sweet message about loving yourself and embracing what makes you unique. I loved all the animal characters with their characteristics that made them so different from what we'd expect. I'm sure children will find all the characters fun and loveable, and the Crafty Chameleon funny and... definitely crafty! The story builds up as that darn chameleon tries to trick all the other animals, but it all comes to a point when his tricky ways are discovered and the animals realize they should not try to change who they are. This is such an important lesson for kids to learn and the way it is written and illustrated is so appealing! I love the fun ways the text is written on some the pages; it made it even more visually enjoyable. This is overall such a fun story and important story for everyone! I loved it.

This is a hilariously fun story with a very important message about embracing our own uniqueness and celebrating what makes us different.

It�s hard not to giggle at this naughty chameleon and his fanny pack. Cody the chameleon swindles animal friends he meets on the street by telling them he has JUST what they need to fit in� for a price. Without giving away too much, let�s just say his naughtiness catches up with him and our animal friends rediscover that they do not need these things and are wonderful just the way they are.

In a world where ads for beauty products, shapewear, ?the newest and greatest? this and that are constantly being shoved down our throats on tv and social media I think it�s more important than ever to sit down and teach our children why it is important to �embrace your uniqueness.�

This book had me smiling and chuckling in an instant! Cody the chameleon is the �baddie� in the story, but he�s rather endearing, because he�s SO funny! ??

Children will learn that not everyone is to be trusted in life, which in itself is an important message. They will learn that Cody is cunning, a crafty crook, who can change his colours to get what he wants. He does this with great humour that wins the trust of insecure animals along the way! The animals, having been collectively duped by Cody, soon come to realise that they don�t need his �tat� to make them feel better about themselves. They were all exactly as they were meant to be!

This story serves as a brilliantly funny and dare I say, crafty way, to help us all EMBRACE OUR UNIQUENESS.

This was such a FUN, entertaining, amusing, well-written, and relatable read for all! I absolutely enjoyed reading this and my students LOVED it! Not only do the wonderful rhyming pages keep you turning to the next, the captivating and adorable illustrations keep you predicting what will happen next. Yes, it is a GREAT read, but it also explores SO many different themes about the power of kindness, having true friendships, and my favorite...BEING and LOVING yourself just the way YOU are!! There are so many powerful discussions to share from this book and it truly portrays the beauty and power of embracing your uniqueness! I truly recommend you grab this book today!
