Just when Humpfree is about to give up in despair, he is met by a scientist who discovers that Humpfree is not just any came Humpfree is yet another delightful rhyming digital picture book that had us chortling at every turn of the page.

There is a lovely lesson in accepting yourself as the wonderfully unique being that you are and I for one am so delighted to be able to share this with toddler. Who by the way, sat through the entire book, eyes glued to the page. Another 5 stars from us NB I received a copy from the Author in exchange for an honest review Oct 13, Fee Ebook Addicts rated it it was amazing Shelves: Julie Dweck strikes again with yet another greatly illustrated rhyming story.

This time it is about Humpfree, a camel who doesn't have any humps. The story is about a Humpfree, a camel who notices that he is different and goes off in search of some humps in order to fit in with the other camels. He is so determined to be like the other camels that his search leads him to some strange ideas for humps.

As you can see from the cover picture he tries balloons tied to string in order to fit in, but the Julie Dweck strikes again with yet another greatly illustrated rhyming story. As you can see from the cover picture he tries balloons tied to string in order to fit in, but they don't last long thanks to some pesky birds! He tried boulders, feathers and even porcupines, but none of them worked.

Downhearted he comes across a man who tells him that he is special, and that there is nothing wrong with that. Th message throughout this story is clear and even my son was aware of it, and this story actually came to us at the right time as we are teaching him all about how being different isn't a bad thing, and that everyone is different in some shape or form. True to form we have some fun facts at the end of the book - I actually love this little feature in Julies books: Oct 14, Stephanie rated it it was amazing. I had the privilege of reviewing another great children's eBook from Julia Dweck with my little girl!!

Now that we've been reading more eBooks on the iPad than regular books, my preschooler is thrilled when I pulled it out and ask if she wants to read a new story. And, this story did not disappoint! The Humpless Camel is the story of poor Humpfree who doesn't have any humps on his back like the oth I had the privilege of reviewing another great children's eBook from Julia Dweck with my little girl!! The Humpless Camel is the story of poor Humpfree who doesn't have any humps on his back like the other camels and is "unhappy with his humpless, bumpless back.

My preschooler thought all the things Humpfree tried to make humps were hilarious. We've read it at least a half dozen times since we first downloaded it. It's another fun and entertaining story from Julia Dweck. Her books always have bright and colorful, fun illustrations as does Humpfree. And, one of my favorite things about reading her books out loud is the rhyming style just flows so easily. The author, Julia Dweck, has several other eBooks as well.

I've read a few to my daughter, and they are all as silly and fun as this one! Also, check out her web page and you'll find lots more - Julie Loves 2 Write Like her other books, the author includes fun facts at the end of the book. This time they are all about camels, including Flat Back camels who don't have humps!

I have to admit this is one of my favorite parts of her books. Who knew there were camels with no humps? I received this book for review purposes, all opinions expressed are my own and I was not paid or influenced in any way. Sep 27, Liz Terek rated it it was amazing. Humpfree is no ordinary camel. While must have a hump or 2, our poor friend has none. Can Humpfree learn to appreciate who he was meant to be? Young-Min Yoon has illustrated for Julia Dweck this time out. Humpfree is drawn as adorable as readers would imagine him to be. His battle is mostly with his own self-esteem.

I appreciated that the negativity he experienced was only implied.

She deserves kudos for that! A recurrent theme in all her books is perseverance. While Humpfree was never meant to have humps, he took it upon himself to keep trying new things even when he failed epically. This is the perfect type of book that pre-K children need to have read to them.

This book has a great message for young readers. I received 1 eBook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Oct 05, Tara rated it it was amazing. You know how they tell you not to judge a book by its cover? The cover, with its portrayal of a startled-looking flat-backed camel floating over the desert with balloons tied around his midsection promises a humorous tale, and that promise is fully delivered. From balloons to boulders, from feathers to sandbags, Humpfree tries out anything vaguely hump-shaped… but sadly, nothing works.

Finally, despondent over his humpless state, Humpfree sinks into despair. But never fear — as it turns out, humpless camels are a valuable breed due to their scarcity, as Humpfree discovers.

Sep 25, April Burns rated it it was amazing Recommended to April by: I love being given these opportunities Since I love reading so much I have no problem reading these wonderful children's books by Julia to my children, and this one Did not disappoint.

Humpfree Is about a Camel who is having a hard time appreciating his uniqueness because of his lack of humps, He goes through a fun growing and learning experience on each page trying to find his humps only do discover he is a rare valuable breed.

The Illustration is Amazingly done by Young-Min Yoon who creates a fun unique illustration of every hump Humpfree finds. Tyson and I both love the moral of the story where humpfree learns that just because he is humpless he is not worthless he is unique, and a valued breed! They even have some fun facts about camels at the end that all my children enjoyed learning.

This is another remarkable picture book written by a remarkably talented children's author.

She laughed and wanted to hear it over and over again. I was also entranced by the illustrations is this picture book.

I caught myself st I had the opportunity to receive and e-ARC copy of this book to read and review. I caught myself staring at the pictures long after I read the page and my niece and I laughing at these phenomenal pictures.

I am super excited and happy to have gotten the opportunity to read another great story that will be one of my and my nieces favorites for years to come.

Unlike the other camels, Humpfree is missing his humps.

Reward Yourself

He sets out on a comical adventure to find humps he can call his own, but nothing seems to fit just right. Humpfree tries balloons that cause him to float away, boulders that weigh him down, feathers that tickle, and much more, but soon gives up in despair. Will Humpfree ever discover how rare an Julia Dweck uses witty rhyme in her new book, Humpfree The Humpless Camel, to teach children to embrace the characteristics that make them unique.

Will Humpfree ever discover how rare and special he really is? The illustrations by Young-Min Yun are rich and vibrant, adding to the story's humor. My favorite image is when Humpfree lands pancaked in the sand after the balloons fail. Children and parents will be delighted with the illustrator's lighthearted creations.
