This is a fun and nicely illustrated children's book. Great watercolor pictures support clever story. I really enjoyed it!

It's a fun story for the young ones, and the illustrations are fabulously entertaining. The story itself with the ugly monster and creepy crawlers makes it engaging and sure to keep the interest of kids. But the book makes me wonder why the main character appears to be a Native American boy. This doesn't appear to be relevant to the story, though the illustrator's note mentions that some of the art was inspired by Native American art. Which group or tribe?

This book is a fantastic way to show young children how animals use camouflage. The colorful drawings show the chameleon trying to sneak up on his dinner (insects) while predators (owl, snake, fox) sneak up on him. When the chameleon changes color and hides into his surrounding, the confused expressions on the predators' faces are cute. This book starts out slow, but then gets going once the first predator appears. Children really get excited when they find the hidden chameleon in each picture.

I'm sure that by using Jim Morrison as one of the main characters helped to boost the sales of this piece of tacky pulp fiction more than just a little.
I feel sorry for the reviewer who actually thought that it was a true story.
There are so many good factual books out there about Jim, or the 60's.
Spend your hard earned dosh on one of those instead.

Although the author tries to be a copy of Morrison himself, he does a good job in describing the emotional chaos within himself. The philosophical ideas in it, make one wonder whether a little bit of the 60's spirit would be something missing in our era. A very inspiring book, if you are about to break some rules, in order to have some interesting memories. Partly very funny, although always with a taste of bitterness. It's a little rougher than Sugerman's 'Wonderland Avenue', but with a similar plot. Should not be mistaken as a permission for a serious drug habit, though. Remember kids, it doesn't have a happy end! Read it on the beach, with a beer and a cigarette and go have a party afterwards.

Without doubt this is the most insightful Jim Morrison biography in print. The authors portray Morrison unlike any of the other writers who have attempted to tackle the subject. The narrative is intertwined with fragments of Morrison's own poetry, which illustrates how life affected him, and helps unlock the mysteries hidden in the verse. The authors don't get caught up in their own egos like Densmore, Manzarek, and Sugerman did -- they show a real person, a poet, suffocating in his own fame and the persona he created. If you ever want to know how this artist suffered, this is the book for you.
