Private I. Guana -- When Private I. Guana takes "the case of the missing chameleon," the fun begins! Chameleons are hard to find--they keep changing colors. So Private I. Guana hangs missing posters (in a variety of hues, of course!) and searches high and low, from the swamp through the forest to the Lizard Lounge, until he unexpectedly stumbles upon the clue to the mystery.
Filled with humorous wordplay and visual puns, this engaging adventure, inspired by the detective films of the 1940s, will tickle any reader's funny bone.

Nina Laden grew up in the New York City area. The daughter of two artists, she studied illustration at Syracuse University. She is the author and illustrator of The Night I Followed the Dog, also published by Chronicle Books.

Quotes

Humorously bold illustrations perfectly complement the tongue-in-check teling of this exciting story. American Bookseller, "Pick of the Lists"
