REVIEW: HAPPY ABSURDITY AND HAPPY BEAUTIFUL DAY!

​It’s interesting to me that today is Absurdity AND Beautiful Day. Perhaps that means that absurdity is beautiful! If that’s the case (and I think that’s a great theory), then I have the perfect book to review for the occasion: 

​TITLE: QUINCY --
​THE CHAMELEON WHO COULDN’T BLEND IN
AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR: Barbara DiLorenzo
PUBLISHER: Little Bee Books/2018
OPENING LINES: Quincy wanted to love chameleon school. He loved learning how to zap and eat flies with his sticky tongue. He was the best at rolling his eyes in all directions. And nothing was better than swinging from his long, curly tail. But there was one thing that Quincy wasn’t good at…blending in.

​Can you imagine being a chameleon whose worst subject is camouflage? Poor Quincy! But don’t worry, after a few trials and errors, Quincy learns how he can fit in by being himself. The art in this book is beautiful—Barbara DiLorenzo captures all the shades of greens you’d imagine in a story about chameleons, but also all the colors of the rainbow that Quincy paints and dreams about. And her illustrations of Quincy are so expressive! I think I have a crush on Quincy. This book is for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t fit in, which is pretty much everyone, so if you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend you do!
