Or, his "Humph!" as the story says. ( )

Really, only one word I can say:

"Humph!" ;-) ( )

Very strange storyline, and I think children reading this book might be confused with the language, even I had a hard time understanding. This seems like a fable or folklore story from the Middle East.

This is a folktale with a good moral to the story. Young children will enjoy this book. It tells how the camel was the only animal that wouldn't work when the world was new. All he said was, "humph." The other animals who worked told a man who had magic about this problem and he went to the camel only to discover it was true. So, he decided to give the camel a hump so he wouldn't have to eat for three days, which was the amount of time he hadn't worked. The camel has never caught up on those three days and they still have a hump. ( )

A lovely retelling of a classic tale. ( )
