The Littlest LLama

The Littlest Llama by Jane Buxton with illustrations by Jenny Cooper is a cute little story about a llama that travels on a path to find someone to play with. Simple words, simple story with a few Spanish words thrown in; don't worry there is a glossary in the front of the book to help you with those Spanish words. The Andes Mountains is the setting for the story with earthtone illustrations throughout the book. Follow the littlest llama on its adventure for a playmate and see what happens. It's a fun, sometimes scary and surprising journey that you'll be glad you went on.

Beautifully-illustrated rhyming book that's perfect for reading aloud

My 3.5 year-old preschooler loves books about animals, and we are constantly on the lookout for interesting picture books. "The Littlest Llama" by Jane Buxton fit the bill as the main character is a cute little llama on the quest for a playmate. The generally rhyming text makes for a fun reading-aloud experience. The gorgeous full-color illustrations not only bring the llamas' world alive but perfectly capture little one's need for fun and playmates. There is even a little 'surprise' in the plot at the end which will have readers chuckling. Highly recommended!
