A Genius Imagination!

This book is a marvel for adults as well as children. Jasper Tomkins' artistic imagination is always stunning (The Sky Jumps into your Shoes at Night, A Hole in the Ocean, Nimby, etc.etc.)but his latest book, The Camelback Dogs! outdoes them all in the sheer joy and delight of a mind that never quits -- counting to infinity twice a day just to stay in practice, squeezing peanut butter into diamonds, music emanating out of those exquisite wind tunnels, finding castles in a grain of sand, portals to other worlds in the boy's bedroom...there is no end to Tomkins' genius. Read ALL of his books. He should hurry up and write lots more.

Wonderfully colorful pages!

Jasper's story will draw you in behind the walls to a wonderfully colorful world of fantasy. I especially liked the towers in the ocean that made music with the wind. I look forward to the next one!

Imagination

A great story to stimulate the imagination of children- the illustrations alone encourage a romp through a landscape of color. I love this book !

I loved this book!!

Truly fabuous, tickling and scintillating all the way through... for adults too. Highly recommended.

A MUST for a child's imagination!!!

This is a truly awesome book, not only for children of ALL ages but also for adults. The story is unique and amazing about a boy's adventures into the worlds of the camelback dogs. They can squeeze peanut butter into diamonds; they remember the Big Bang; they count to infinity twice a day just to keep in practice(just to name a few of their amazing ways). The size of the book is in the Golden Mean and there is even a picture of Durer's magic square, if you can find it. The boy and the dogs love harpsichords, which is why they seek out the boy. Jasper Tomkins outdoes himself with this one. His paintings are rich in colour and intrigue. An amazing accomplishment!!!
