While the grown-up camels stand patiently waiting to be loaded, the littlest one has already decided that waiting is overrated, that the market smells wonderful, and that nobody will notice if he wanders off for just a minute. Somebody always notices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe is Mustafa, The Littlest Camel, and it is his very first caravan day in The Adventures of Mustafa, The Littlest Camel, a picture book written and illustrated by J.K. Matthews. Too excited to wait for the loading to finish, he wanders alone into the desert marketplace, where a snake charmer, a mask carver, a silk merchant and one very impatient English gentleman each teach him something about patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a story about kindness from strangers, finding your way home safely, and the oldest advice there is: all good things come to those who wait. For a small camel in a big market, that is the hardest lesson of all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA gift for camel lovers, travelers, anyone who has been to Morocco or the Middle East, and every child who finds waiting hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ornament is the little camel at sunset in his red-tasseled halter, the sun going down behind him, a striped market awning and glowing lanterns on one side, a date palm and a far-off caravan on the other. It is printed on a 3-inch faceted crystal glass round that fades softly into clear glass, in a white or gold gift box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 in faceted crystal glass ornament · printed in the USA · white or gold gift box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mc-facts-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"quick-facts\" class=\"mc-travel-title\" style=\"scroll-margin-top:120px\"\u003eQUICK FACTS — CAMEL CRYSTAL ORNAMENT\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mc-fact\"\u003eSeries: Animal Holiday Ornament\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mc-fact\"\u003eArt: Camel (The Littlest Camel · Sunset at the Souk), original Merlin Classics engraving printed to the glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mc-fact\"\u003eBlank: 3-inch (76 mm) round clear crystal glass ornament, faceted gem-cut edge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mc-fact\"\u003ePrint: white-backed for contrast;
