Help Leon find the perfect match in this bright and brilliant interactive picture book by bestselling author and illustrator duo Jane Clarke and Britta Teckentrup.

Everyone knows that chameleons are the best at fitting in. Wherever they go, they match. But not Leon. Leon is neon! In fact, he's such a lovely bright orange that he keeps all the other chameleons awake at night.

Poor Leon is lonely, so off he goes to find a place he can fit in. That turns out to be a place where there are LOTS of friends for Leon - some match and some don't, but they're all beautiful.

In this delightful interactive book, filled with vibrant neon artwork, children can help Leon on his journey by counting his steps, wishing him goodnight, and giving lots of reassurance when he's feeling down. Everyone will share Leon's happiness when he discovers it's brilliant to be different - and we don't need to be the fit in to be loved.

About the Author

Jane Clarke (Author)
Jane Clarke is the author of over 80 books for young children, including the award-winning Gilbert the Great series and Stuck in the Mud. She's also a children's poet, so she's thrilled to bits to have three rhyming picture books with Nosy Crow (Who Woke the Baby, Old MacDonald's Things That Go, and I Saw Anaconda). Jane's latest picture book is Leap Frog, a super follow-up to her brilliant interactive picture books Neon Leon and Firefly Home. Jane enjoys visiting nurseries and primary schools, and loves animals, country walks, fossil hunts, meeting up with her sons and their families in the UK and USA, and having fun with her granddaughters.
