This book was a fun one to read! Cam is a great character and we enjoyed following him on his adventures.

I had fun reading this book. A chameleon jumps into a backpack one day, and their life changes forever. They find themselves in a classroom, and they become the class pet. This leads them on some great adventures where they get to see some amazing things. Once this book comes to a close the life of this chameleon will never be the same.

This is a book about a chameleon going from his home to being a pet in a classroom. The illustrations are lively and fun, but I wish the cover was better. The story is a little long however it still works well. This would be a great book for a classroom. Iโ€™m not sure itโ€™s a read every night type of book but it is a book kids will enjoy.

I absolutely adored Cam and her sense of adventure. The story was very well written, using easy to understand language and illustrations that were bright and engaging. This book is a great way to teach children to be adventurous and encourage them to try new things. It also provides children with a better understanding of their emotions. The helpful discussion questions at the end were an added bonus. ๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐—”๐——๐—ฉ๐—˜๐—ก๐—ง๐—จ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ฆ ๐—ข๐—™ ๐—–๐—”๐—  ๐—˜. ๐—–๐—›๐—”๐— ๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—˜๐—ข๐—ก is a great addition to any classroom library.

This is a story of a chameleon who goes on a big adventure. It's a cute story and the illustrations were bright and colorful. I think it was a little bit wordy, but I liked that it incorporated going to school and learning.

Thank you to NetGalley and Teacher Created Materials for the eARC.

The Puzzle Piece by Andrea Mendoza (May 13) The most beautiful story in how to help children love themselves and be their most authentic self. Iโ€™m excited to read more of her books. Wonderful conversations to follow this with my kids!

Gathered at the Table by Glennโ€™s Nellist (Sept. 9) Using poems, it explains Jesus last supper and his time at the table. Such a profound, kid appropriate explanation of the communion.

Rosieโ€™s Wild Ride by Paige Murray (Oct 7) Her completion doesnโ€™t go quite as planned, but what if we keep going and ask โ€œWhat if I can?โ€ as we follow big dreams! I canโ€™t wait to get this for my daughter. Loved the illustrations.

Night Magic by Leigh Ann Henson (Sept 23) This was SUCH a fun book of information. Why does it take so long for the eye to adjust to night? Lots of great information with this book and at a childโ€™s level.

The Mountain and the Goat by Slamk Taghaddas (Sept 23) I loved the concept of teaching resourcefulness in this one. Loved the storyline.

Sea Dog Boats by Astrid Sheckels (Jan 14) To learn all about boats, let the dogs lead the way. All about the ABCs and nautical adventures this is a really cute story!

Twelve Days of Summer by Sherri Meret (July 1) โ€œOn the first day of summerโ€ฆโ€ The animals take you on a summer adventure as you sing along! My kids LOVED this adorable book.

Franklinโ€™s Trees by AJ Skenkman (July 1) A story about young President Franklin. A history major myself, this was a really cute informative book.

Outdoor Skills for Kids by Buck Tilton (June 3) My son thought this book was the bees knees. He learned so much from it and kept talking about โ€œwhen you approach an animal this is what to do..โ€ He was so excited to share all he learned.

A Very Dinosaur Christmas by Adam Wallace (Sept 2) The giggles with this one! Dinosaurs at Christmas is silly.

A fun read about a chameleon that goes on an adventure away from her family in the jungle, and into a classroom full of tiny humans! It's cute and entertaining and interactive. I'm not overly enthusiastic about the style of the illustrations, but that's a personal taste. It's a nice touch to offer tips at the end of the book to encourage children to learn more about these animals.
