Llama Llama learns at school.
Counting, writing, reading, rules.
Friends and school -- there's nothing better.
Llama learning all the letters!
Anna Dewdney's beloved Llama Llama is growing up and learning to read! Throughout the school day, the teacher helps Llama Llama and the other children practice their letters, shows word cards, reads stories, and brings them to the library where they can all choose a favorite book. By the end of the day, Llama Llama is recognizing words and can't wait to show Mama Llama that he's becoming a reader!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this addition to the Llama Llama series, carried on by the late Dewdney's longtime partner Duncan, the titular character learns how to read at school. "No two letters are the same,/ but every letter has a name:/ It can be said. It can be heard./ Letters together make a word." Llama Llama has a moment of frustration in class: "Llama's hooves wave in the air./ Some words are hard / it's just not fair!" Yet, at the library, Llama Llama and his classmates (including Nelly Gnu) are thrilled to discover that words come together to make books: "Look inside: O, what glory!/ All those words have made a story!" Morrow's illustrations strongly resemble Dewdney's in their range of expressiveness and the quality of warmth brought to the smallest of moments between Llama Llama and Mama. Ages 3 5.
