Research Notes |
| "I didn’t know much about chameleons before I started working on this book. Boy, did I learn a lot along the way. Some lizards change their color to blend in with their surroundings, but chameleons use the trick in many different ways. When they are cold, they get darker. When they are hot, the get lighter. This helps them stay just the right temperature. When a chameleon is angry, scared, or excited, it lets its friends know by turning its colors up or down. That’s incredible." |
