Enamel the Camel - Hardcover

by Mike King (Author), Rick Ellis (Illustrator)

"A misfit Camel with excellent dental hygiene shows his worth in a tale that covers a lot of ground." --School Library Journal

Enamel wants to be like all the other camels who live in Camel-lot, but his front teeth are bigger than anyone else's. And they stick out. He's the only camel who brushes his teeth--he has to because everyone can see them. Enamel is tired of getting teased for being different. Then one day the class gets caught in a terrible sandstorm...and his exceptional incisors save the day.

Enamel the Camel is an upbeat, humorous story about sticking out, stepping up, and the importance of good dental hygiene.
