'''Pamela Camel''' is a 1984 illustrated children's book by Creator/BillPeet. A camel named Pamela is trapped in a dull, unpleasant existence in a circus's menagerie, where she is ignored by the workers and insulted by the circus-goers. Running away from the circus, she notices a break in a railroad track. With no other way to prevent the train from crashing, she stands on the tracks as a warning, hoping that the train crew is willing to stop for a camel. The train stops, and the crew members realize that the camel has just saved them from a life-threatening derailment. Celebrated as a hero, Pamela is reclaimed by the circus and promoted to the lead of the entrance parade, cheered for, praised, and happy.

->Pamela had to admit that she was indeed bad-tempered. But then, after all, anyone insulted as often as she was would be bad-tempered.

!!Pamela Camel includes examples of the following tropes:
* CelebratingTheHeroes: At the end, Pamela leads the circus parade as the ringmaster praises her.
-->THE ONE AND ONLY PAMELA CAMEL! THE MOST COURAGEOUS, THE MOST INTELLIGENT, THE MOST AMAZING AND EXTRAORDINARY DROMEDARY EVER TO WALK THE FACE OF THE EARTH!
* HeroicResolve: Pamela stares down an oncoming train to save the people on board.
* ICantLookGesture: JustifiedTrope; Pamela closes her eyes to the oncoming train, not because she doesn't want to see it coming, but because its light is blinding her.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Pamela's main motivation. She hates her dull life and reflects the crowd's contempt back at them.
* APetIntoTheWild: Pamela's not a pet, but she's a domesticated animal that decides to run away.
* PostVictoryCollapse: After the train stops, Pamela passes out.
* TrackTrouble: The broken train track that Pamela notices.
