You’ll see how this works in action when the old woman finds him hiding under her bed, then hands him over to an angry boy who wants to know what kind of animal it was before he makes sure it’s dead by stomping on its head!
The boy is surprised by the chameleon’s ability to change color, and he decides to keep it as a pet. He puts it inside a jar so that he can show his friends how cool this new pet is.
But then the boy goes to sleep and forgets about the chameleon. When he wakes up, he’s surprised by what he sees: The chameleon is no longer inside its jar! The boy looks all over for his pet but can’t find it anywhere. He has no idea where it went or how it escaped from its prison.
One Hundred Colorful Hats for Kids of All Ages
One Hundred Colorful Hats for Kids of All Ages is a kid’s book that will make your kids’ eyes light up. The bright, bold illustrations and simple text are sure to attract the attention of any small reader.
The book begins with a young girl in her pajamas who wants to wear all of the colorful hats on her head at once. When she can’t find one that fits, she asks her mother if it’s okay for her to wear one more than once a day or two before washing it off with soap and water. Her mother tells her yes, but only if it’s actually clean—otherwise, they need new clothes!
This story introduces readers to the basic rules about wearing clothing while letting them know they don’t have to follow those rules if they want something different instead! It also shows how much fun dressing up can be without getting into trouble with mommy or daddy (or even having friends over).
The Mystery of the Missing Puppy
If you’re looking for a book that will keep your child entertained and engaged, The Mystery of the Missing Puppy is one that should be on your list. This story is about a little girl named Max and her dog, who is missing from home. As she begins to search for him, she meets other characters with their own problems, like finding his special name and what happened to him in the first place.
The main character (who happens to be an actual puppy) has many secrets about himself, including his name; where he lives; why he was left behind by his owner; etc.
A Day With Dad
Dad is a great role model for your child. He’s always there to help, listen and support you. He loves you as much as he does his own children, and he wants you to be proud of yourself too!
Dad will never let anything bad happen to you. If something happens that makes him sad or angry, he’ll talk about it with us in private, so we can understand better how he feels—and then we’ll try our best not just because it’s what dads do but also because if Mom were here right now, she would want us all to work together toward making everyone feel better again!
