Description
Bruce, a lonely
lizard, just wants a friend. He spends his days trying to catch the eye of
passersby, but the other Australian animals get all the attention. It's not
until he sees some eyes staring at him, and realises that they belong to
camouflaged lizards, that he realises that he, too, just can't be seen-and soon
he has the friends he's always longed for. This funny story about perseverance,
just being yourself, and friendship, written in upbeat rhyming verse, with playful
and expressive illustrations, is sure to delight and amuse young readers.
