About the Book

"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.

School Library Journal

King, a dentist, combines the lesson with wordplay, including such zingers as Camel-lot, One Hump Lane, and Dromedharry. Vaguely Seussian illustrations bring a real depth and shine to the text.
