Behind The Pages With Bob:

"The whale on the surfboard is a subtle nod to the lead character in my 2016 picture book, Beachy And Me."

"The illustration of the lizard morphing into a tuba may appear failiar to some parents. That's because it is an homage to one of my favorite Little Golden Books growing up --Little Boy With A Big Horn."

Paintings by Leonardo DaVinci, Grant Wood, Edvard Munch, Piet Mondrian and Rene Magrittle are visually parodied in the art museum scene.

Summary:

A shape-shifting lizard becomes anything he wants in this funny--and empowering--Beginner Book by award-winning author/illustrator Bob Staake!

The giant lizard star of Bob Staake's Beginner Book Can You See Me? is back--and this time, instead of changing colors, he's changing shapes. (Very un-lizard-like shapes, including a robot on a dairy cow, a surfboard for a whale, and a one-eyed, green-headed monster!) Featuring simple rhymed text and high-energy graphic-style illustrations, this cheerful, funny easy reader is exactly what Dr. Seuss had in mind when he launched the Beginner Books series in 1957 with The Cat in the Hat. What's more, Staake's charming lizard shares an empowering "You can do it!" message with young readers.
