The Chameleon That Saved Noah’s Ark
Synopsis:
Noah and his family work hard to keep all the animals on the ark happy and healthy, but the chameleons are refusing to eat. As Noah searches to find out what exactly chameleons like to eat, another problem arises – worms have invaded the food supply!
Luckily, it turns out that the worms are exactly what the tiny lizards have been hungry for the entire time. The chameleons save the ark and in turn the worms save the chameleons, showing that even the smallest creatures have an important role to play, a lesson that will appeal to both parents and children looking for a positive new picture book.
