"Llama Llama Misses Mama" and "Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy"
I'd heard of these two series and somehow overlooked checking them out. I'm glad I finally took a look at them.
Llama Llama Misses Mama
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Anna Dewdney
Little Llama is starting school. Mama Llama takes him to the class, then leaves. Llama is shy, afraid, missing Mama.
I get the impression this is more for preschool than kindergarten. It is written in rhyme and fun to read.
The illustrations have a crayon look to them, are colorful and cute. The characters are all animals and identifying them could make the book more fun for a child. Although the characters are animals, they are really people in both dress and actions.
Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy
5 stars
Author: Jane O'Connor
Illustrator: Robin Preiss Glasser
Nancy loves to dress up, be fancy in her clothes and behavior. Her family is ordinary and happy being that way.
The family will get a puppy. Nancy wants a papillon like the one a very upscale lady next door has. The question is whether this is the best dog for her and her family.
The illustrations are delightful. Nancy tries to be so fancy. Her outfits and hair styles are wonderful.
Nancy's family is so ordinary. They dress and look like any middle class family.
Every page has so much to look at. It is a book that will take Several readings to really see all that is there.
