Praise for Muktar and the Camels:
“The present-tense narrative is immediate and spare and is beautifully illustrated by the spacious oil paintings, in desert reds and oranges, which convey the boy’s bond with the animals. An author’s note and a map fill in more about the war and about the camels, which really do deliver library books.”—Booklist
“Muktar’s enthusiasm, knowledge and talent with camels will attract young readers, and the story of the unusual delivery system will engage those who delight in knowing that children everywhere benefit from free library services.”—Kirkus Reviews
