Customer Reviews

NOT in "Good Condition"

Back cover is detached from the rest of the book :(

Inaccurate description

Very upset, was supposed to come with the audio CD and there was no CD with the book.

Ripped pages (with missing words) is NOT good condition!

Part of the last page was ripped so the words were missing. This is NOT good condition!!

One of my favorite children's books.

My children, and the kids from my preschool class, love it too. It beautifully explains seperation anxiety, (along with a solution) from the child's viewpoint. It's one in a series of books tackling serious childhood issues.

Classic

Love this book. Kids love it, too.

Cute, fun and kinda whiney

I find the Llama Llama kids show to be really well done and cute. The book is a fun read with an excellent rhyming pattern. That said I find book version Llama to be a little whiney and will probably stick to the show. My inner book worm never thought I would prefer a tv show to book series but here I am.

Favorite bedtime story!

Great story line! I pretty much have it memorized and I recite it to the kids when they go wild, my favorite line is “stop all this llama drama and be patient for your mama”. The only suggestion is to not buy the “acceptable” quality as it was awful (too many ripped pages).

The first one he sat still for

This was the very first book my 18 month old sat still to read. We received this book as a gift, and LOVE it. Being from the midwest, we do say "puh-JAAAAA-muh", so it requires changing our accent to make the book rhyme. We saw a photo of this book on a bulletin board at a bookstore about a month after we began reading the book, and my son instantly recognized it, pointed to it and started shouting "mmammma...mmmaaammma." I couldn't believe it. This one's a keeper. (The book. And the kid.)

ADDRESSES A COMMON FEAR - WELL DONE LITTLE BOOK.

I certainly liked this one and the kids I read it to, like it too, which is actually a pretty good indorsement for a kids book. This book addresses the common fear so many young children have when their mom leaves the room at night (I had the same fear as the baby Llama when I was that age, years and years ago...some things never change). The story is done if an excellent rhyming fashion (and, no, my mid-west accent/twang does not interfere with the reading one bit) and the illustrations are great and eye catching. Like another reviewer, I love the facial expressions conveyed here. This is an excellent beginning reader and an excellent one to read at bed time with your child. Recommend this one highly.

Great book for 2 year old

I purchased this book sight unseen due to a recommendation from the Texas libraries (they have it on their list of recommended books for 2 year olds). My 28 month old daughter absolutely loves this book. She has me read it to her over and over and over again and has started chiming in with her own narration (e.g., "Mama's downstairs" and "Mama's on the phone" when she sees the pictures). The illustrations are great and I love the big text. I highly recommend this to anyone with children around age 2.

A Must Have!

This is one of those books that children will ask to be read over and over. It is a story that all little kids will be able to relate to. The rhyming is genious, the pictures are adorable.

llama llama! where's my mama?

this book is ADORABLE...very clever rhyme scheme, very clever plot. baby llama is all tucked in his bed and gets scared when mama llama leaves. he starts to call for her--and his call escalates into a scream as he starts to envision her being gone forever instead of down in the kitchen cleaning up. mama llama does come back upstairs to baby llama (in his red pajamas) and comforts him but explains that just because she isn't right in front of him doesn't mean that she's left him forever. this book parodies a scene any parent has encountered--it's hilarious and well done. highly recommended!
