Kids won't be able to after reading Martin Jenkins's amazing portrait of chameleons. With the eye of a scientist and the enthusiasm of a child, Martin Jenkins reveals the very cool facts about chameleons' life and anatomy. Did you know, for example, that most of a chameleon's eye is covered in skin, like the rest of its body? It sees through a tiny peephole in the middle! Sue Shields's vivid watercolor close-ups bring a chameleon's unique features into startling focus.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The ability to change color, a sharp-shooting tongue, and skin covering your eyes -- now <i>that</i> is cool.</b> <p/>Read and Wonder books tell stories, take children on adventures, and reveal how big and WONDER-full the natural world really is.

I picked one up, ever so gently, and it promptly bit me on the thumb. I still think they are wonderful, but tend to leave them alone whenever I bump into them." <p/>Sue Shields had to develop a new way of painting for Chameleons Are Cool, "to try to describe not only the chameleons' astonishing colors, but also the hint of the colors they can change into."
