What is Crafty chameleon about?

Crafty Chameleon enjoys resting in the trees and catching flies, but Leopard and Crocodile keep disturbing him. Tired of being bullied, he decides to teach them a lesson. Using his cleverness and his remarkable ability to change colour, Crafty Chameleon creates a trick that leaves both animals puzzled and defeated. This lively African animal tale explains why chameleons hide and change colour when they hear someone approaching, while showing that quick thinking can overcome even the biggest bullies.
