Endpapers: Desert sand brown
Setting: the desert, mountains in the background and saguaro here and there....and lotsa lizards.
Art (Arthur, if you please) is an artist, and his friend Max wants to try. Not the best idea....
This begins a series of events that will change them both - physically and artistically! I read it through twice. It's so much fun and so darn clever! Art is an iguana and Max and his cohorts are lizards. I'm not going to say another word. You have to read it and see what's going on for yourself.
The art is -- well -- it's David Weisner. Magical. Special. Talk about giving a lizard personality! The faces alone show enough expresion that barely any words are needed.
OH! When you take the book jacket off you're greeted with quite a surprise - a colorful Jackson Pollock-like spatter/splatter that represents a part of the story. Big smile. Cool book.
