The Chameleon's Surprise Party

Charlie the chameleon lives in a cozy bush in a sunny garden full of bright flowers, and he loves his best friend, Mabel the tortoise. When Mabel's birthday approaches, Charlie decides to plan a big surprise party for her. He puts on his red party hat with the yellow pom-pom, takes his tiny blue satchel of invitations, and sets out to organize balloons, a cake, and music with the help of his friends.

There is just one problem: Charlie's camouflage. When he is excited his green skin turns red like the roses, when he is nervous it turns brown like tree bark, and when he is frustrated it flashes bright orange. Pip the mouse and Bernard the owl keep losing sight of him in the middle of conversations, and Charlie grows frustrated that his friends cannot see or hear him. A visit to wise Mabel helps him understand that friendship takes effort and that he must communicate clearly and ask for help instead of trying to do everything alone.
