Humpfree: The Humpless Camel by Julia Dweck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well, Julia Dweck has done it again! I have reviewed a few of her books at this point, and I am always delighted by the content, message, and the illustrations. She is always educational in her view, and she makes it fun for the kids. She always includes fun facts and activities in the back of the book. I do recommend getting a physical copy (when available) of the book as opposed to an e-book merely because your children will appreciate it more. I can’t recommend her books highly enough, and the message of this one is great–don’t be afraid to be yourself. You are wonderful and perfect as you are even if you are different from everyone else. Celebrate your differences!
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
