Had a vague memory of this and want to be able to cite it because someone else mentioned it. Thank you.

Was this a picture book or a chapter book? A few possibilities:
The Last Camel
Cairo the Camel: A Tale of Responsibility
Katie the camel
it was a picture book for sure! will check these out! thank you!
It appears to be that first one from what I can tell! That memory fragment was driving me a bit nuts!
Oh great! Do you think you can mark it as "Solved"? The 1968 Kirkus Review says:
"Last because he's afraid of getting lost in the desert, Phoum overcompensates for his anxieties in other ways too: he even sticks his tongue out at the Sphinx. Then a storm comes up and Phoum, thinking that he's following the leader, discovers that he's been holding the rope from his own burden of bamboo poles. Newly confident, he's no longer a spoilsport but he still likes to walk last."
There are a few more pictures on this Etsy page if that helps too - https://www.etsy.com/listing/14320756...
yes! looking at the art style from Etsy I'm sure now! I'm trying to move it to solved and will do so once I figure out how.

I moved your request to a Solved folder by clicking the small "edit" link after the topic header. This only works on the "Desktop version" of the website.
