I first came across this book at a Mock Caldecott workshop. I loved the illustrations and thought this book could definitely be in the running for a medal. This book was so wonderful that I added it to my baby registry when I became pregnant with my son. It was never purchased, but I did not forget about it.
Last night I was out shopping for birthday gifts for my son since he is turning one year this March. At the bookstore they had one copy of this title in stock, and I had to purchase it. I...more

LOVE llama llama, even when he tries every trick in the book to avoid bedtime. Even more, LOVE Mama Llama when she has had ENOUGH!
Baby Llama’s impatience turns to worry, anger, and fear waiting for Mama Llama to bring a drink of water in this delightful rhyming bedtime tale. Adorable paintings of baby Llama in various stages of distress are a perfect match for the all-too-familiar nighttime scenario; the deep blue hues give the reader a sense of calm in spite of little llama’s escalating...more

What a fun book to read for bedtime. We just found this at story time last week, and Ava ran to grab this book from the librarian reading the books after she was done. Its got such nice rhythm, good repetition, and a wonderful story. Its totally silly, but has a good point, and its so reassuring for the kids. We've been reading it at least once a day.

Adorable story. This was read to us at storytime at the library. I hear there's a sequel. Going to check that out now.

I bought this book for my daughter (4) who was in need of bedtime books. I really, really love this book. Not only does it rhyme, which makes it so much funner for me to read (ha ha), but it sends a good message about parents always caring and looking out for their kids, even if they can't be there every second.
Ask me in two weeks how much I love this book, however, since I have to read it every night.

I liked this book because Baby Llama is so worried and yells for his mother. Quickly Mama Llama came to the rescue. This is a great book to use as a read aloud. It has a lot of rhyming patterns in the story. It can be read to introduce a unit of rhyming to the students. Also all of the students could relate to this story because like Baby Llama they also look for comfort.

This is a wonderful book for 3-5 year olds. The brief, repetitive rhyme structure and repeated phrases are wonderful to get kids chanting along. The illustrations attribute marvelous expressions to characters in bold, sweeping colors that can be easily seen in group situations.

A mother in library recommended this book I had overlooked. What fun! It is so relatable - the moment you get on the phone, the kid needs you. And of course, from kid's perspective - hey, it's dark and night and where the heck are you, Mom! Plus who can resist rhymes like "llama drama"?

i have now read this book approximately 500 times. it's audrey's favorite book right now. very cute rhymes and not too long--a great book for kids who stall at bedtime. i have even found myself quoting the book, "stop all this llama drama and be patient for your mama."

This is a great rhyming book about a llama who gets anxious for his mama after she tucks him in for bed. This would make a good read aloud for bedtime or group sharing. I loved the subtle expressions on the llama's llama doll and the phrase "llama drama".

Helen's current favorite goodnight book. She loves to eat the colorful pages, and gets very excited by the illustration of little llama "Eyes wide open/covers drawn/what if mama llama's gone?" The pastel work is so fabulous, I want to pet the pages, too.

Llama, llama, bedtime drama... I know, I know, this is a picture book, but anyone who is a mother or who ever was a kid themselves should read this book. I laughed until I cried! The illustrations are PERFECT! Thanks to Whitney for sharing her book!

Cute story...the kids thought it was funny. The little llama is very expressive. My kids never had separation anxiety, but this would be a good book for that. Still, good rhyming and rhythm, the kids enjoyed listening to me reading it out loud.

My daughter received this book from her doctor's office, and it has quickly become one of her favorites. The rhyming words, colorful pictures, and vivid storyline all come together quite nicely. :)

I loved this book more than my children - but they still enjoyed it! My favorite line was something to the effect of "baby llama, such a tizzy - sometimes momma's very busy." Too true.

caroline wont let me read this to her anymore because she is scared of it - (the baby llama has to sleep with his mom's cheeks) and caroline just cannot understand how that is possible.
