Konte Chameleon, Fine, Fine, Fine!

Cristina Kessler's spirited retelling of this West African folk tale features two memorable and endearing characters--Konte Chameleon and Doctor Jalloh--who are brought to life through Christian Epanya's lush and lively illustrations. Children will laugh with Konte and Doctor Jalloh and marvel at one of nature's fascinating creatures--the changing chameleon. The colorful and repetetive language makes this picture book a perfect choice for reading aloud. - Boyds Mills Press

Excerpt from the book

"Climb onto that yellow flower," said Doctor Jalloh. "Now look at your tail. What color are you?"

Back went Konte's right eye.

Kurr-Kurr-Kurr.

"I am as yellow as a ripe banana. Oh, I must be very sick, sick, sick."
