Leon the chameleon is having a good day until he has to go poo and there is no toilet paper.  He uses an old pair of underpants and, after tossing them in a bush, a voice questions his naughty behavior. The chameleon washes the underpants and hangs them to dry as instructed. The voice of his conscience is revealed to be a rabbit who wears the underpants as the mask to his superhero costume. An unexpected and laugh-out-loud ending!


This book is a humorous, lighthearted, fun read! Children will love the bathroom humor. This is a book to read for pure enjoyment.  If you needed to find a moral to the story it would be to "listen to that little voice inside of your head"; but who needs a moral                                                                           when this book is such hilarious fun!
