No story here, a delightful, whimsical collection of very well-drawn and detailed line drawings of llamas, a huge pun on the author's last name, Llamas. Title is a pun also, the Spanish for "What is your name?" The drawings show llamas with various facial expressions and physical appearances, with captions supposedly showing the inner thought or impression of each animal. I felt the book was too long, although pictures were creative. Sometimes the captions made sense but often they did not. Thanks to LibraryThing for an ARC.
This book is not quite what one would expect, and if it's not a very serious book in any way, it is certainly an enjoyable look at llamas. In many ways, this book springs from a fortunate (?) coincidence in that the author married someone with the last name of llamas and happens to love llamas and has drawn a lot of llamas and thought about the individuality that llamas have, one of the aspects that makes them so loveable as a species. If you want to see humorous drawings and captions of llamas, this book is certainly a good read. Indeed, regardless of what you want that is about all of what you will see in this book and it is fortunate that the book is well-suited to make one laugh and smile and reflect on the ways that people resemble the llamas included. I found quite a few that I resembled myself in terms of personality if not look, and that will likely be true of many of the book's readers as well. It is unclear what sort of deeper purposes the author had, but the art is lovely and the captions are funny and the llamas included are entertaining and relatable. It seems rather impolite to demand anything more.
How flippin’ cute!!! These illustrations made my heart happy, and this is a great gift book. It also makes a nice addition to my llama-themed bookshelf. Hope she draws a Kayla llama soon!
This is a thoroughly charming book, as engaging for adults as for kids. The amount of life and personality that Llamas breathes into every drawing makes it a joy to thumb through. The captions are clever, capturing tiny little slivers of human nature. You can really see how they are echoed by every llama!
A great gift book for llama-lovers, or anyone who enjoys art of animals who look almost human.
