Abstract

en_US
Pairs of pages alternate between full color and black-and-white. The rich sultan of Taza orders rich robes from the distant Mohammed for his eight hard-to-please daughters. Mohammed is bringing them across the desert by camel when he experiences an unusual night. The camel asks permission, respectively, to put first his head, then his front legs, and finally his back and hump into the tent. Once there is that much inside the tent, the camel pushes out the trunks and cases. The wind blows away all the dresses, robes, and slippers. Still not satisfied, the camel pushes Mohammed out into the cold. Mohammed has to come to Taza and plead with the sultan for a second chance. The sultan grants it but admonishes him When you give the foolish a little, they want too much. This is one of several Evans books I searched out quickly on the web after I found them advertised in another volume of hers. This copy belonged once to the Kimball Public Library in Atkinson, New Hampshire.
