This book is freaking adorable! It shows an old man, who can never seem to find his pet chameleon! My two year old had fun yelling "come out, come out" (chameleon still a work in progress LOL). And we had fun searching for the chameleon every time we turned the page. Super cute!

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto publishing group for providing an advanced Readers copy for me to enjoy with my kids!

Come Out Come Out Chameleon by Jonty Howley is an adorable children's book about an older man who has a pet chameleon that he can't find. He talks about all the times he thought he saw his little buddy, but never could find him. The book is fun because the chameleon is hidden in each picture and my youngest loved trying to find him. The pages of the book are beautifully illustrated and makes the search that much more enjoyable! The solution to the problem is just adorable, and so is the ending of this charming story!

It's a quick book, so I would say it would be a good wind down story, but not a bedtime story per say because the kids will get excited trying to find him. I think it's perfect for ages 3 and up since my youngest wants to read it over and again 😂

Come Out Come Out Chameleon publishes on March 4, 2024!

Very cute, colorful book. A simple story, but very engaging. Searching each page for where the chameleon is hiding makes the book interactive and interesting. Would definitely recommend for young children.

Oh my goodness, we had so much fun looking for the chameleon on all the pages. I will say he can be hard to find so if your child gets frustrated easily you might want to spend time looking beforehand!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I received this book in exchange for a honest review from NetGalley.

My niece and I absolutely loved this book. The call and response of the come out come out chameleon was super fun to shout and looking for the hidden chameleons on every page was super interactive. This will quickly become a classic at my Storytime's. The only problem is my niece now has to wait for the book to come out to have a hard back copy! We absolutely loved it!

Perfect! Drawings were amazing and story super cute. Would highly recommend!
Can't really say more, because it was just a perfect book for me. Loved it!

Come Out, Come Out, Chameleon! is a fun seek and find book for the youngest of readers! The simple story line, loveable grandfather figure, and bright illustrations make it an attention holding interactive read on every page.

So cute! The interplay between the text and illustrations invites readers to look closely and read again! A great book for a read aloud or for a student to spend time with on their own, looking for the chameleon.

Okay wait…this was actually super cute. I loved looking at the illustrations and trying to find the chameleon.

What a charming story! I loved looking for the chameleon, and this will be so fun to read out loud with kids. I always appreciate illustrations that offer more things to talk about in a children’s book. Also, the dog is a fun character. Very cute!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

This story was so cute! A fun story to read along with your kiddos over and over. I loved the illustrations

Solid addition to a storytime line-up with similar elements to where's waldo, with a humorous take, and illustrations reminiscent of the movie Up.

This book is such a cute read! My 3 year old LOVED it! The pictures are beautifully illustrated and the pages are short and sweet. Perfect for a toddlers attention span! I will definitely be buying a hard copy of this book when it comes out in March :)

Forget the children, I actually enjoyed the booked myself. Following a simple plot, an elderly man has a pet chameleon that he can never find. He occasionally spies it here and there, but feels his eyes must be deceiving him because in a blink, the creature is gone!

The book is a fun read for caregivers and babies, and would make a great book for group reading in a nursery or playgroup session with it's beautiful crayon drawing across the double pages, I think it is a brilliant book for sharing with toddlers that need help with focusing their attension as the book has a bit of a spot the difference element. That is, there are similar pages with subtle changes around the mischievous little chameleon. My seven-year-old was flicking back and forth between pages to see the changes and how he missed some of them.

Although the story is a little short for him to read as a bedtime book, he would certainly appreciate this being part of a small selection of reads. It would make an ideal book for young independent readers as they will take their time pouring over the enitre content. Here's hoping Howley puts their imagination to use and produces books in a similar vein.

COME OUT, COME OUT, CHAMELEON! Is a fun children’s book about a sneaky chameleon blending in with camouflage.

Young children will love this book! It’s exciting, it’s colorful, and the dog adds extra humor to the story. I can see children excited to spot the hidden chameleon!

I would love to add this book to my classroom, as I know my preschool and kindergarteners would read it again and again.

I recommend this book to parents and teachers!

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this fun book.

What a cute little story about finding the chameleon! My kids loved looking for the chameleon on each of the pages and asked to read it again when it was over. The illustrations are fun and it was a nice, easy read for younger children!

Review to come close to the release day on my blog/goodreads/etc..

I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

OMG, I am so happy I got to read this book because this was just SO funny and hilarious, and just what I needed after the news I had yesterday (writing this in January). 

In this book we meet an old man who not just has a dog as a pet but also a chameleon. There is one problem... he has never seen his chameleon. EVER. For real. However, as the book continues, we see clearly that he isn't that hard to spot. Not to mention the dog is really trying his best to let his owner know about the chameleon. Which leads to so many hilarious situations and I was just laughing my butt off. I LOVED that we got two scenes, one in which the clearly knows where the chameleon is but it is hiding sometimes quite well (some times it was just super easy which made it all the more fun) and the next we see the chameleon as he is. It was just so much fun and creative and I loved every page. Just what I needed!

But if you thought that is fun, wait until the old man (thanks to his dog) finds some instructions. That was just the best ending! 

And the art, OH BOY, I loved the art in this one it was just so colourful and fun and I loved how the author creatively hid the chameleon. 

All in all, HIGHLY recommended. This will bring a smile and laugh to everyone, I am sure of it.

This book is so cute! An older man thinks he sees his chameleon, but always decides it is just his eyes playing tricks on him (even though his dog knows better). This adorable picture book is a wonderful selection for kids ages 2-6 who love to find details in illustrations and love to laugh. It is definitely already a favorite in our house!

What a fun quick read! This would be a great engaging read for storytime in getting the children to find the Chameleon and talking about what he was hiding as. I really loved that the main character was a single old man and his dog, I found that very sweet!

This is a super cute book about a man who owns a chameleon but he has never seen it. Each page gives the child a chance to see if they are able to spot it and then the next page helps them see if they were right. So cute and I would read this at story time 100%.
