 Korky Paul's drawings are perfect for this witty, entertaining story with a clever moral and a universal truth. --Yellow Brick Road
 Grinning camels and a strange mix of characters...reinforce the wacky story line while providing added visual interest... Desserts and laughter suitable for school-age storytime and independent reading. --School Library Journal
 The smells, sights, and sounds of the Middle East permeate the pages of this clever story, illustrated partly in comic-strip style and with humor a-plenty. --Books for Keeps
