The Chameleon That Saved Noah's Ark
CCBC Review:
How did all those animals on Noah’s Ark eat? It turns out Noah knows just what to feed every species, except for the chameleons. They reject everything Noah offers them. Meanwhile, Na’ama discovers worms invading their food supply. What to do? She’s holding out a worm-filled pomegranate to show Noah when a chameleon tongue zips out and devours the worm. Aha! From then on, the chameleons are allowed their fill of the worms, except, of course, for the two Noah sets aside to save. Bergman’s brilliantly colored acrylic paintings show a Black Noah with his multiracial family in this delightful offering. ©2016 Cooperative Children's Book Center
