Award-winning illustrator Bob Staake delights new readers with this bright, lively Beginner Book that features a lovable—but sometimes hard to see—giant lizard! This color-changing character can be found hiding in unlikely—and un-lizard-like—places that provide visual clues to the meaning of the words on each page. Staake's simple rhymed text and high-energy graphic style are sure to delight fans of classic storybooks from Dr. Seuss, P.D. Eastman, and Robert Lopshire.
