Reviews for Who Am I?

[cdavie3 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Who Am I? is a fun book. There is a bit of irony within the plot of this book because the Chameleon is the main character who is asking everyone who he is, while also changing colors to match the animal he is talking to. I found this element of creative writing to be most entertaining. In addition, the illustration are great! The many different animals that the Chameleon runs into, are all illustrated with neat colors and facial expressions. Furthermore, there is an element of informational text within this book. With each passing animal that the Chameleon approaches, the animal presents their name and a fact about themselves which happens to be true of that particular animal in real life. For example, the cheetah says that he is the fastest land animal on earth! Who Am I? is informative while engaging the reader with neat elements of writing and illustrations.
