As a shimmering sun lit the desert at dawn,
A clumping of camels awoke with a yawn.
"GOOD MORRRRNING!" sang one,
"YOO-HOO! Rise and shine!"
"I will!" called another. "Today is DIVINNNNNNE!"

But not everyone has woken up in a good mood: Cuthbert the camel is having a bit of a bad morning. He's hot, he's tired and he certainly WON'T be walking to the oasis today! There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that will get him out of his grump. Or is there?

When Cuthbert makes a new friend, he discovers that even if things get off on the wrong hoof, we're all just one smile away from a happy rest-of-day.

A laugh-out-loud tale of how choosing fun can turn a grumpy, humpy start into a happy ending. This spectacularly illustrated rhyming tale from the award-winning, bestselling creators of The Lion Inside and The Koala Who Could is the perfect read for anyone who's ever had The Hump.
