Llama Llama Home With Mama

When you’ve done storytimes for years, you know that not all picture books work well for storytime. One key ingredient that helps draw kids into a book is whether they can relate to the topic. This book deals with how miserable it is to have a bad cold. Ask any child if they have ever been sick and you will always get a lengthy, graphic description of their battle with the flu or a cold. That’s why Dewdney has a hit on her hands with this book. They will easily empathize with the young llama as she deals with the sneezing, stuffy head and yucky sore throat. Add to that the author’s adorable illustrations and hilarious, rhyming text and you have a new, classic addition to the popular Llama Llama series.
Add this one to your storytime shelf today. You may find yourself wishing you would get sick so you could stay home and read this story all day long!
