(4) PS Illustrated by Charles Santore. A droll, if somewhat whiny, camel laments his lot in this presentation of Carryl's Learian turn-of-the-century rhyme: "Weasels / are wavy and sleek... / But a camel's all lumpy / and bumpy and humpy-- / ANY shape does it for me!" Santore's goggle-eyed poodles and droopy-lidded camels have character aplenty, but they don't quite make up for the poem's abrupt ending.
