As I read it with my little one, I remembered that exact moment when my older child first read a whole sentence by himself - that proud little smile, those shining eyes. Llama's journey from frustration to joy mirrors exactly what we went through, and it's helping my younger one stay motivated on those tough reading days.
This is not my favorite Llama Llama book. However, I use it in my Every Child Ready to Read sessions all the time. Why? Well, it talks about letters forming words. Words forming sentences. How sentences form books.......
There isn't too much to say about this book. But for fans of Llama Llama it is enjoyed.

Anna Dewdney's beloved Llama Llama is growing up and learning to read!

Llama learns to read, from learning the ABCs to recognizing words like STOP and GO. Exciting for pre-readers and beginning readers!
Good book for younger grades, can be used to show some rhymes. This is also a good book because it talks about the main character learning to love to read.
Summary: This book includes rhyme in the dialog and really keeps the reader intrigued. This shows the fascination these young animals had with coming across words and how different words make up different stories.
Personal summary: This is a cute children's picture book on children's first time learning to read and coming across so many variety of books. Great story for really young kids, around 3-5.

And the last Llama Llama book is as great as the rest. Nice work, Anna Dewdney.
