Purchase options and add-ons

Bestselling author Anthony DeStefano brings the vain and possession-loving Roxy the camel to life to demonstrate the familiar Bible verse: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Little ones ages three and older will learn that possessions are only things...and definitely NOT the most important things.

Brightly illustrated by Richard Cowdrey and written in engaging, funny rhyme, this storybook follows Roxy's journey from her waterless home in the desert to a great city of beauty she's heard about but never seen. Along the way she learns that the only way to attain true happiness is to share—or even give away—what she possesses.

    My kids loved when I read them Dr. Seuss books because of the fun rhyming, but I wasn’t crazy about them due to all the made up words and nonsensical stories. This book is great because it has the rhymes that make it fun to listen to, large colorful pages, and positive and biblical stories that will be great for my grandkids. I am super pleased with this!

    It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:24; Mark 10:25; Luke 18:25)🕊️

    Possessions are only things and definitely NOT the most important things.😇

    We found Anthony Destefano read alongs on YouTube years ago and are huge fans of his writing and the videos. The quality of his books I order through Amazon is indescribable! The cover and page material is so well made and BEAUTIFULLY printed. Doesn't feel cheap or fragile to the touch, the mastery of the illustrations stands out due to the print quality. It's just so well made and we are trying to collect them all! This author and the illustrations in his book deserve so much more recognition. They mean a lot to us!

    Damage to the spine when it arrived but nothing to make me want to return it! Colors and content are spot-on. Can't wait to read this to my 2 year old bible class when we talk about the Camels.
