I love the original Llama Llama picture books by Anna Dewdney. I've checked out the animated Netflix series and wasn't that impressed; the show is nowhere near as charming as the rhyming storybooks. So I wasn't sure I would enjoy this holiday picture book that's based on the TV series.

The story is decent and the illustrations are adequate. That's really about all I can say. It's very simplistic and aimed at young readers.

If your kids love the show, they'll probably like this book. But I would still recommend the original picture books over these tie-ins; even the shorter board books have an element of charm that this type of glossy, Hollywood picture book lacks.

An elementary and up book about Llama Llama being done with his decorating at home so he heads ou to help others. Cute ending.

[Steven · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fair attempt at displaying the importance of helping others when able. The magic of Red Pajama is noticeably absent.

Cute. Llama Llama helps decorate for Christmas, then gets bored. So they go out into the neighborhood to help everyone else. All the characters are adorable. Enjoy

After finishing with the Christmas decorating at his home Llama Llama goes around town helping as many of his friends as he can with their holiday decorations, and spreading cheer to all.

These Llama Llama Netflix knock-offs are TERRIBLE. Read one of the many originals!

It's still a little far away but it came in my book box of deliveries and I thought I'd dive it.

It's a delightful message that the holidays is about coming together and helping everyone out and that's exactly what llama does before he needs help himself. Delightful holiday book.
