Description
"Howard is sure that he is a very exceptional gecko. After all, he's the only camouflaged creature in the rain forest--or so he assumes. But Howard doesn't always notice other animals, especially those who can also hide in plain sight. When he learns that there are other camouflaged creatures, he doesn't feel so special anymore. Is Howard... average? And if so, who will love a completely unexceptional gecko like Howard?" --
