Hello all, and good morning or evening,
Stephen Gammell worte and or illustrated a book - more words than pictures - that I 
read in the early 90's to classes in elem school llibrary.  Was about a little boy 
whose birthday was Christmas Day so his Grandfather - maybe great uncle - but much 
older person - designed a half birhday for the child when the 2 of them celebrated 
the child's birth.  The older person told the child wonderful stories that involved 
foreign legion like adventures without the violence and with lots of camels (great 
description of the smell of camels!!!).  does anyone recognize this book?  It is a 
truly lovely read aloud and I cannot remember the name nor locate anything that 
sounds like it on AMazon.  Is there another source for older books I could check?  
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance, Barbara
