The Dancing Chameleons Arlene N Cohen

For Ages 2-6. Carlos, the Chameleon is bored being just verde (green) on a leaf or marrón (brown) on a trunk. He wants to be more colors. When he inches out on a limb, he sees a lot of colors that he would like to be: Amarillo (yellow); Roja (red); and Purpura (purple). And he becomes each of these colors, when he dances with Mariposa Amarillo (The Yellow Butterfly), Rosas Rojas (The Red Roses), and Tulipan Púrpuras (The Purple Tulips). Happy now, he sings, "Life is Exciting; Life is Fun, when you're out on a limb; Out in the SUN!" His friends warn him that if he keeps dancing out on the limb, he will get caught and be fried in a tortilla. Does he get caught and end up in a tortilla? Not this guy! This story is a fun way for children 2-6 to learn not only colors in English and Spanish, but also to acquire easy verbs, nouns, adjectives, as they dance the words. Arlene N. Cohen, author of Stories on the Move: Integrating Literature and Movement with Children from Infants to Age 14, used internationally by parents, teachers, and librarians, has created this first book in a series called Literacy on the Move. Also see the other books in the series: The Dancing Reptiles for ages 4-8, The Dancing Dogs for ages 5-10, and their companion coloring books.
