Jayden loves the Llama books, I presume because they tap into real fears and anxieties that kids experience. Llama gets impatient for the treat and dumps all of Mama's groceries onto the supermarket floor. This time, mean Mama Llama insists on dragging little Llama out shopping and makes the rookie mistake of promising him a 'treat' when the errands are through. Though most of the books on his shelf are 50 pages or less, I have read most of them enough times that they may as well be Gone with the Wind or one of the other of the overlong tomes that I have reviewed.Īnyway, the first book up this year is Llama Llama Mad at Mama, one of the sequels in an uneven series about a boy llama who finds plenty of drama in every daily situation and can be counted on to burst into a fit around page 25 of every book he's in. It's the first day of a new year, and I figure that makes it as good a day as any to start keeping track of the many, many books I read with my son Jayden. This is a soothing yet uplifting book for younger readers and there caretakers.My face when my kid wants me to read him this book, which happens pretty much every day.

Halfway through the story, Mama Llama finds herself with a sniffly nose, too, and Llama Llama rises to the occasion: “Wait! Llama Llama knows what’s best./Mama Llama needs a rest!” The illustrations are a delight-with the stroke of a paintbrush and the blending of pastel colors with darker and bold shades, Dewdney captures relatable moments with adorable pink llama noses and facial expressions.
