Anna Dewdney, author and illustrator, delivers another fun-filled Llama Llama drama to the popular bestselling series. In this installment, Llama has a bit of a problem, he's not sure he wants to share Fuzzy with Nelly and to make matters worse, Fuzzy needs to be fixed. His Mama repairs Fuzzy, but warns Llama that he won't be playing with Fuzzy, until he decides to share. The adorable characters light up the colorful pages, and a friend of mine has a young child who loves the series. This addition is easy-to-read, fun rhyme, and an important lesson is learned about sharing, essential for this age group. Highly Recommended for teachers, parents with young children, and child-care providers. A great gift to family and friends for the holidays!
I am a retired early childhood teacher and principal. When I took my 2 year old grandaughter to the library one rainy Saturday, she became spellbound with the Llama, Llama series. The board books were a little too simple for her but the others had her captivated, so much so that we had to renew the books 5 times until no more renewals were allowed and n they had to be returned. The next time she came to visit nana, she asked where the Llama, Llama books were so I bought the whole series. I think the charm of the series is taking Llama, Llama and acknowledging his negative feelings which all of us have and then allowing him to see how shopping when you want to play can be fun, sharing can enhance your play and bring you new friends etc. I think the series gives you a really good way to discuss various issues with your child, grandchild, student, etc. without hitting the subject head on.
Another winner in the Llama Llama series. This one steps the lessons taught up a notch. I use this series with first and second graders that I read to each week. They love Llama and can relate to his experiences and always have a number of stories to share about their similar adventures. I would recommend the entire series to anyone who loves to read to kids!
When mom tells Llama Llama to share his toys with Nelly Gnu a tug of war ensues and one of the toys loses a limb! The cute and colorful illustrations combined with the rhyming dialogue help children learn a lesson about sharing. Cute book that gently teaches a lesson!
We love the Llama Llama books in my house. My son picks out at least one of them to read nearly every night. This is my least favorite, however. Sharing is important, and I think this book means well, but there are some things that are okay for a kid to not have to share. In this case, Fuzzy Llama is Llama Llama's special toy. It's been well established in the other books that Llama Llama takes his fuzzy friend with him everywhere. It's okay not to want to share everything, and I think that should be expressed. Maybe if Dewdney had chosen a different toy?
Just as the other llama books, this one DOES NOT disappoint. Learning the valuable lesson of sharing can be tricky, and this book helps make it seem more plausible!! We have all of the books in the llama collection, and love all of them, but this one is at the top of our list!
Such a cute book! We finally have finished the Llama Llama collection with the exception of one book. The book is built sturdy and holds up well with our two year old!One simple warning for parents is to remove the dust cover. As most parents may imagine young children will want to remove anything that they can.Speaking to the validity of this story, as many of Anna Dewdney books, this story teaches children a very important lesson in a non-standard way.Not only is our main corrector taught to share but it is not done in the average way. In most stories a child refuses to share and gets in trouble weather this is loosing a privilege or what have you but poor llama llama learns by potentially loosing something dear to him... Do not worry parents all is made well!
This is the first of the Llama Llama series I have bought & I am very pleased with it. I like that the story is told in rhyme, it's easy for little kids to get it. I bought this book for my grandson based on the high review ratings & I was not disappointed.
