Leon the Chameleon is off on his first solo jungle journey. Can he use his ‘magic' to keep safe from the many dangers around him? Look out, Leon!

 

A very simple concept is enriched by the use of pull tabs that allow the reader to help Leon hide from the hungry jungle animals. Jez Alborough is a well-regarded author/illustrator who has created a number of popular picture books for the very young. Look Out Leon! demonstrates Alborough's background in graphic design as he uses a limited colour palette and minimal lines to great effect. The creatures have powerful personalities and toddlers will delight in making Leon appear and disappear. The unexpected finale will cause much laughter as children realise that even Chameleon parents can be a little over-protective at times.
