Little Humpty
By Margaret Wild and Ann James
Big Humpty and Little Humpty are a mother and baby camel who live in the desert. They play games together, and Big Humpty tells Little Humpty stories about the big, wide world. Then the day comes when Big Humpty realises it’s time Little Humpty had some friends of his own to play with, so they set off together to the Great Waterhole. Along the way, Little Humpty tries to guess what they will find there...

This subject will strike a chord with the 3-7 age group and parents with young children of preschool and playgroup age. Wild’s evocative, imaginative text combined with James’ beautiful illustrations will delight children and adults alike.
