Created for the youngest reader, this books add a fun embellishment to the usual story-telling fun. It's sturdy with thick pages to suit small hands and to handle some harsher usage. The finger puppet is so soft and cuddly, and invites to touch and play. I was happy to see that the puppet's neck is quite long and pokes through with enough room to easily move the head around in all directions on every page. The head is fastened nicely to the back page, ensuring hours of fun without fear of instant breakage. And the hole as well as the puppet are spacious for even thicker fingers. In other words, it's practically made.
The book itself is super cute and draws immediate attention. Each page is bright and colorful, which fits to the huge smile on the llama's face. While the illustrations are relatively simple, there are still enough details to make it clear what's going on...and the scenes create a lovely background for the llama to 'play'. The purpose of this book is to also let young listeners learn just a little bit more about llamas. Now, we're not talking tough facts here but simply a light, general glimpse at things such as what a llama eats or where it sleeps. Each 'fact' is presented in a very simple sentence, perfect for the intended age group. I found the combination sweet and loved how a tiny, itsy bit of knowledge is delivered in such a fun, playful way. It's definitely getting big thumbs up from us.
I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed it so much (as did my kids) that I'm leaving our honest thoughts. ( )
