About the author
Bethany Roberts
45 books18 followersI've wanted to be a children's book author as far back as I can remember. When I was eight years old I wrote a story about a rabbit. I am still writing stories about rabbits- and mice, cats, children, monsters, and dragons!
When I was growing up, I was the neighborhood storyteller. I would make up stories on the spot for younger children in the neighborhood. I read a lot of books. But I was also a bit of a tomboy. I spent much of my time outdoors, usually barefoot, climbing trees and stone-hopping across brooks.
On my way to becoming a children's book author, I was also a teacher and a children's librarian. I always liked story hours best. When my own children, Krista and Melissa, were small, I read to them constantly- stacks and stacks of books. I think I learned the most about writing from all that reading.
Today I live in Hamden, Connecticut, with my wonderfully encouraging and supportive husband, our two daughters, and our cat. We live in a white house with lots of flowers.

I realize it is a kids book and it doesn't have to be based in reality, but from the title and the first couple pages I thought it was. Then I see the camels driving trucks, parachuting etc and the whole time incessant word rhyming with THUMP, that don't necessarily have anything to do with what is going on on the rest of the page.

Strange word choice to go with actions.

The illustrations are fantastic. The text is simple. Kids like this book, and it is not a burden to read for adults, as the written words are few and simple, and the book moves right along. It is an adventure about camels.
