For the Young at Heart
This is such a wonderful story for preschoolers. I enjoyed reading this story. The illustrations are colorful and appealing, and the rhyming text makes it even better. The book cover tells you what's to come and it is so funny with Llama, face on the front jacket pouting.
Reviews
The inviting, oversized paintings are bold and colorful, and Llama Llama's priceless expressions carry the emotional arc of the story to its gentle conclusion.
School Library Journal, September 2007
The well-told story, along with bold colors of the illustrations and the precisely rendered expressions on Llama Llama's face from dismay at having to put away his toys to going shopping, to rage, and he throws his temper tantrm, to chargin in its aftermath, to pure delight as he enjoys his ice cream cone, make this a perfect choice for preschool read-alouds.
