This book is my first choice when reading aloud a Nativity story to the kindergartners in our Lutheran school. It is told from the perspective of a sassy, self-centered camel whose heart softens and fills with love at the sight of the Christ Child. It is a humorous story up until you are nearly moved to tears at its tender, poignant ending. As a bonus, the illustrations are outstanding. Highly recommend. NOTE: My review is for the paperback book. I see the one I've reviewed here is a board book, which likely is abridged and may not be as good (but I hope it is).
