The Camel's Hump and Other Poems

---

Delight young readers and instill playful moral lessons with The Camel's Hump and Other Poems, an exquisitely illustrated anthology masterfully compiled by children's literary editor Tig Thomas and published by Miles Kelly. The title piece centers around the famous classic poem written by Nobel Laureate Rudyard Kipling—originally featured in his legendary Just So Stories—which humorously attributes the camel's physical hump ("cameelious hump") to his lazy, stubborn attitude and initial refusal to work with the other animals. Through a whimsical rhythmic structure and memorable rhymes, the compilation guides children through a series of lighthearted verses that address the consequences of grumpiness and inertia while championing a cheerful, cooperative spirit. This charming volume combines timeless classic wit with vibrant, modern illustrations that bring the exotic animal characters to life. This book serves as an exceptional tool for early language arts classes, reading aloud to develop phonics skills, and a highly engaging addition to any library's children's poetry and classic fable collections.
