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.
