One Humpy Grumpy Camel, Paperback Book, By: Julia Johnson

Humpy Grumpy Camel first appeared on the scene more than a decade ago with a cameo appearance in Julia Johnson’s A is for Arabia, and now he’s famous! In One Humpy Grumpy Camel he appears with a whole new cast of characters - five silly Billy goats, eight baby scorpions and nine busy beetles, 13 wise old men and 14 dancing girls, and many more characters - all of whom make counting fun for every child. Told in verse, the book is illustrated with watercolor images of Arabian life from sunrise to sunset - the leafy palm trees and desert foxes, the incense burners and glowing lanterns. About the Author Julia Johnson divides her time between Dubai and an old water mill in Worcestershire, England.
