This book shows the reader a very good lesson about self-worth. Throughout the book Carlos the chameleon is trying to prove that he is the true king of the zoo, but ultimately fails. The lesson comes from the end when a single girl speaks about how he Carlos is her favorite and it made everything Carlos had been trying to achieve worth it. This is important for kids who don’t feel like they are important enough. Their will always be a person who they mean the world to and kids must know that. ( )
