Caleb Crosses the Country: A Camel's Tale (God Can Use Me Series)
by Dan Taylor & Damon J. Taylor
illustrated by Damon J. Taylor

Caleb the Camel is afraid of change. He likes his stall and doesn't want to cross a desert. But when a Wise Man chooses him, Caleb has to face his fears. This story is a bit didactic, but the boys enjoyed learning about camels and how they are built to cross deserts. They also liked looking for the star in the sky on each page and talking about that part of the Christmas story.
