A camel named Bell Sing is transported from mountains of the Northwest Frontier (modern day Pakistan and Aftghanistan) to Australia to be used as a pack animal by an expedition attempting to cross the continent from south to north for the first time. The humans in this expedition - nineteenth-century explorers Burke and Wills - seem determined to succeed but Bell Sing has his doubts about their competence. Camel Handler Dost Mahomet and soldier John King are also starting to wonder who, if any one, will survive. Suggested level: primary, intermediate, junior secondary.

The story of the famous Burke and Wills expedition ... as it has never been told before. The humans call him 'Bell Sing', but to the other camels he is known as 'He Who Spits Further Than the Wind'. Transported from the mountains and deserts of the 'Northwest Frontier' (present-day Pakistan and Afghanistan), Bell Sing accompanies explorers Burke and Wills as they try to cross Australia from south to north. Bell Sing has never had a high opinion of humans -- or horses. And this expedition is the worst-managed caravan he's ever been in. Camel handler Dost Mahomet and soldier John King are also beginning to wonder if their leader is competent ... or crazy. Bell Sing can smell water over the sandhills on the horizon ... and freedom too. Can the expedition succeed? And who -- if anyone -- will survive? This is the gritty and true story about one of the most extraordinary and iconic events in Australia's history. PRAISE FOR THE ANIMAL STARS 'an irreverent and informative charmer' - Sunday Age 'What a delight to read this book! ... could inspire much original history reading by young readers' - Book News 'This is history brought to life for the younger reader' - Reader's Feast Book Guide

A warmly reassuring rhyming story (with a fun counting element!) about how it’s ok to need a little alone time, from the author of the award-winning The Littlest Yak. Doug the camel is all alone and sometimes he wonders whether one is enough (it makes playing hide and seek terribly tough…). So when at first one, then two, then three, then four more camels turn up (followed by a whole camel herd), Doug delights in the possibilities all these new friends bring. But when Doug is ‘all camelled out’ from all the excitement and it's time to count down to bedtime, he takes just as much pleasure from the peace of being alone once again. Lu Fraser’s warm, funny text is a delight to read out loud and is brilliantly illustrated by Sarah Warburton in the first book from this exciting new picture book partnership.
