“Every home has someone who greets each chore with a grunt. After this story, your family will have a word for it, and a lesson in pulling your weight.”
One lazy camel, one word and three fed-up animals.
How the Camel Got His Hump is a funny picture book retelling of a Just So story about a camel who will not work.
Out in the desert, the horse, the dog and the ox all do their share of the work. The camel has other ideas. Whenever anyone asks him to help, he only says "Humph!" When the three fed-up animals tell a genie all about it, the camel is in for a big surprise.
Why children love it
- The camel's one word, "Humph!", is a perfect line for children to join in with.
- A turbaned genie with a curly moustache, who listens and then flies off at once.
- Big, bold pictures of the desert, by day and by starry night.
Illustrated by Marta Álvarez · English
