It reminded me of watching Dora when I was younger, how I’d cheer on characters with her, or count to accomplish a mission. Thanks to Britta, despite Leon’s luminescence, he maintains an expression of utter dejection throughout most of the book. Indeed, as I mentioned in my review of Leap Frog, they remind me of the classic pictures by Eric Carle in the internationally acclaimed The Very Hungry Caterpillar or, less well-known, The Bad-Tempered Ladybird.

I read this book with a year 1 class on placement and they all enjoyed joining in with helping Leon the chameleon fit in!

In a second picture book, a maladapted chameleon is stuck in a predicament that brings to mind Raymond Chandler’s brilliant line about a fellow looking “about as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food cake. In 1979, Neon Leon was a part of the Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen scandal when he and his then girlfriend were living in the same hotel as the punk couple and was socializing with Sid and Nancy the night when she was stabbed to death by Sid (because of Sid's death shortly after Nancy's death there seems not to be 100% clarity about what happened that night, there are several theories about the murder). The Tory is told in an interactive way, getting the child to participate in the story and the drawings are striking.

A fantastic interactive book with opportunities for children to immerse themselves fully into the story.

Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. Very bright and colourful, this is a great interactive picture book that encourages it's readers to count to ten, whisper, guess colours and spot the chameleons on each page. while living in the UK in the early 70s, he was recording acetates as far back as the mid 1970s with the original members of Pure Hell around Philadelphia, and ended up moving into the Chelsea Hotel in ’73 soon after, upon the insistence of his pal Johnny Thunders.At the club Bad News he met the record company owner Sanyi Tandan who offered him a recording contract and later released the successful single "Movin In The Right Direction" and later the album Artificial Stimulation (1983) with his group Neon Leon And The Bondage Babies.
