Howard thinks he is an exceptional Gecko and that he is the only camouflaged creature in the rain forest. Other camouflaged creatures are all around him, but he has never noticed them. Finally, a stick insect that is tired of Howard bragging awakens him to all the other camouflaged creatures in the forest. Howard is now sad that he is just average and no longer special. Then he meets another creature that helps him feel loved and important.
Howard the Average Gecko is an engaging story that also teaches us about Geckos and other camouflaged insects in the rain forest. The illustrations are beautiful and contain hidden camouflaged creatures. It is fun to see how many creatures you can find in the book.
