Llama Library

LoveReading4Kids Says

Anything which promotes using libraries is always going to be a good thing and this delightful and engaging rhyming story adds a very appealing fantastical twist to a library visit with Mum!

The Llama Library covers all sorts of topics that might be of interest - cookery, history, art, music and science, but instead of collecting a book, you take home a specialist llama who will tell you all about the topic. But as Mum warns, ‘Pick wisely’ because ‘I’ve heard that some llamas cause nothing but fuss.’

The lively rhyming text has lots of join in repetition that will make this a lovely read aloud. ‘Each llama unique from their head to their toes. But which do you think was the llama I chose? ‘ ‘Lovely Miss Joyce’, the librarian, always said ‘What an excellent choice!’ but unfortunately that was not how it worked out. Each llama caused absolute chaos and so had to be returned ‘back to the library, with barely a fuss’.

The very expressive illustrations have so much funny detail to pore over and an awful lot to talk about. But eventually our young heroine had to ask Miss Joyce’s advice, when she just could not decide which of these llamas to borrow.

The helpful suggestion Miss Joyce gave was a bit of a shock to poor Mum, ‘if you’re really that keen your card will allow you to borrow ….Sixteen!’ This gives an excellent opportunity to point out that you can often borrow 16 books from an actual library! But our undaunted heroine has spotted the Dino Library next door…. And here we go again! This is bound to be a sure fire hit that will get lots of re-reading requests!
