Love this sweet read

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK  Amal is so anxious. They are at it again. The talk about him being different, and especially his hump and this makes him sad. But things are about to change for our friend Amal, and author Robert Schorr tells all about it in his sweet book Amal the Thirsty Gamal: A Christmas Tale. This adorable book is awesome for children because it teaches the valuable lesson of acceptance, because it is ok to be different, despite what others say about you. Just because we may be different, it doesn’t mean we can’t be valuable and useful. Just like Amal found an important way to be useful, so can you, and anyone else.  I love this story about a sweet little camel with a hump that is different. Robert Schorr does a fantastic job writing this story so it can be read to little ones, and really older kids and adults alike will love and benefit from reading about Amal. And I love how illustrator Kristina Koontz does an absolutely fabulous job of bringing the story to life with her adorable illustrations on the cover and throughout the book. I love how the pictures she creates for each page fits so perfectly with the words to the story. I think this book would be perfect for very young readers, after hearing the story, to look at the pictures and tell the story themselves. I love it when small children do this, and it’s the fabulous illustrations that make it happen. Schorr and Koontz work together so well to make this story happen. Amal the Thirsty Gamal: A Christmas Tale by Robert Schorr will be awesome for daycare and school classrooms as well as libraries where children’s books may be. I highly encourage you to check out this adorable book for your little ones. This one is a sound Five Stars in my book.  A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book.

Amal the Thirsty Gamal

Amal the Thirsty Gamal: A Christmas Tale is a wonderful book for young readers by Robert A. Schorr. I love that it teaches some wonderful life lessons that so many – young or old – could learn from. Little Amal is needing to find out who he really is. He is being bullied by his peers and has to learn not to listen to the negativity around him. It all changes for him when he has the chance to go on a journey with wise men. I thought this was a beautiful and inspiring tale and will enjoy reading it over and over with my young ones. Amal the Thirsty Gamal: A Christmas Tale is illustrated by the talents of Kristina Koontz. The pictures perfectly follow the story. The younger readers will be captivated and be able to hold their attention and continue reading to find out what happens all the way to the end. Amal the Thirsty Gamal: A Christmas Tale is getting a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for young readers who are between the ages of three and seven. I look forward to reading more books like this from Robert A. Schorr in the future. It would make a great addition to the local or school library and even in a little ones’ classroom for story time. I received a hard cover copy of Amal the Thirsty Gamal: A Christmas Tale from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
