The Mixed Up Chameleon by :Eric Carle (1975)


The Mixed Up Chameleon by : Eric Carle is a colorful story about a chameleon that ultimately finds himself among a new string of talents such as changing colors and brightening up his world.  It is a wonderful story that promotes positive self image, hope, and (maybe this is far fetched) but self enlightenment as well. Reading the story I found myself filled with happiness as the story sends a positive message. The idea that the chameleon spruced it's own life by adding a little color, gives the story a feeling that anything can happen (at least for me) Maybe some of my viewers feel the same? No matter what age, the book touches the hearts of many.  The famous Eric Carle ilustrations are at their peak in this story. The pallet of colors and textures draw the reader in almost in amazement (possibly provoking a feeling of happiness or "colorfulness" ?)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ch1277quZo
