Gather Is Your Mama A Llama Presented By Deborah Guarino Shown As Textbook

rhyming guessing game as a young llama asks several different animals "Is your mama a Llama" All the different animals answer in rhyme and verse the llama's question.
This one makes Alistair smile, Read this aloud once to a child and you'll probably have to read it again and again and again and, . . it's beenyears now and we still recite the rhythmic lines together from memory, Deborah Guarino and Steven Kellogg's Is Your Mama a Llama is the story of a Welsh llama with no comprehension of fundamental principles of biology and genetics, wandering around Australia and trying to determine which animals have llamas for mothers.


Lloyd the Llama asks his various animal friends whether their mother is a llama, Each friend responds in the negative and describes its mother's features, And by amazing coincidence, it's always the same sort of animal as the friend! Finally, perhaps by exhausting all of his other options, he asks his friend Llyn the Llama and learns that her mother and his own are both llamas.
Hurray.

This story is difficult to wrap my head around, Upon hearing each description, Lloyd immediately recognizes the sort of animal that his friend's mother is, So it's clear that Lloyd knows what a bat or a seal or a kangaroo or whatever is, but doesn't seem to make the connection that seals have seals for parents, bats have bat parents, and so on.
Is he seriously not making the connection here

The art is fantastic on this one, The animals and other little details on the periphery are among my favorite parts, and the backgrounds are lovely as well, Ultimately, I think that's what saves this book,

Beyond the art, . . well I guess I'd recommend it to someone who doesn't understand that animals have babies of the same types, or something . I don't know .

This was one of my favorite books as a child, I remember it quiet strongly from my years growing up, As an adult now I can really understand and take into consideration what the book is doing,

I think it's great because of a few reasons, One is that children can be exposed to several different animals, It also gives them an opportunity to guess them which can help them learn,

Another thing that it does is showcase different landscapes, this is very inclusive to many different places around the world, Many kids may feel like a part of their culture is involved, For instance, the kagaroo is native to Austrilia, So that would help with children all over the world being able to relate,

The animals are personified, so we can see them as people, Lloyd speaks with many different people all over the animal kingdom which is great to show that people, especially children can have many friends from different families and places.


This might be an old book, but it's one I hold

dear, It does have a good message that young readers will understand, I can't wait to share this with my children someday, Cute. Illustrations show there age a bit, I think, The first time this book came on my radar was when Patrica Arquette was reading it to her daughter on the show Medium, It had such a fun rythm to it that I vowed to look for it the next time I was in a bookstore, Over the summer I was in a used bookstore in Steveston and found it in paperback for,. I had to buy it,

This book sits on my bedside table and I frequently read it to Bella when she is either falling asleep or just waking up, I only read it to her when she is sleepy because she loves turning the pages and I'm afraid she will rip them, However this book is available in board book format so she may end up with it in her Christmas stocking, The illustrations are beautiful and I haven't tired of reading it yet, I also love it when my husband is in the room and I check to see if he is listening by asking him what kind of animal Lloyd's friend's mamma is.
I can't wait until Bella is old enough to shout out the answer! This is a cute short story, Love the rhymes and illustrations : I cannot believe anyone would give this book one star, Those people clearly have never read this to a child, have no joy in their lives, and do not appreciate good poetry, I feel sad for them, This is by far one of the best rhyming board books ever! The illustrations feel a little outdated in style but luckily that just means it's "classic" now.
The poetry is brilliant. The story is hilarious. My son started loving and smiling at this book being read aloud to him when he was justweeks old, Maybe those people who gave it one star are just tired of reading it over and over and over to their children because it is such a favorite.
If you have a child, go buy this book, If you need an idea for a baby shower gift, go buy this book, Seriously, you will not regret this! Nicht mein Stil und ich frage mich immer noch was Lamas in Australien machen, Wobei Schwäne vlt auch nicht in Südamerika leben, . . mhmm. . Both of my kids loved this fun rhyming book when they were toddlers and preschoolers, and I've also used it for preschool storytimes, Kellogg's pictures are great, as usual, My older son started calling me "Llama" when he wasor, which I love! This is a great story for young readers to listen to and to read themselves.
It is full of fun rhyming riddles, This is a classic. Lloyd the baby llama meets a different animal on every page Lloyd asks them, “Is your mama a llama” The rhyming riddles the animals give Lloyd help him to guess what kind of animal everyones mama really is.
When he asks his friend Llyn the llama his question he finally gets the answer he has been waiting to hear,
