Llama Llama Mad at Mama

A little llama wants to play but his mom drags him to the grocery store. He is forced to try on clothes and help mama llama shop. He throws a fit and the groceries in the store go flying. Mama Llama, instead of yelling and getting mad says she knows it’s no fun to shop and at least Llama Llama is there to help. So Llama Llama helps her pick up the spilled groceries and all is well again.

This is a great read for little ones who feel forced to do what mom does and go where she goes. The rhyme helps the story flow, but when reading aloud, beware of the tongue twisters! It’s short but with vivid images and I think is a good read-aloud for kids.

For a class project, we could set up a shopping store in class and learn how much money is show more worth and how to add it. We also could write about a time we threw a tantrum and what happened as a result of it. show less

Both of my kids love/loved the Llama Llama books. Rosie particularly likes this one. I was having some issues with my vocals for a while and we found a lovely youtube channel with a woman who reads children's books (Shon's Stories) and she LOVES her rendition of this book, even more so than me! ;) This one follows llama and his mama on an afternoon errand to the store. Llama does not want to be there and basically has a tantrum in the middle of the store. Mama explains she doesn't love the idea that they have to do shopping either, but that she's grateful to be there with llama, and they shop together and have a treat afterward. I love that mama talks to Llama on their level and makes the experience more fun for Llama. Great little show more story, lots of fun listening to Shon read it too! show less

Library book. Llama Llama books are fantastic! The story is just right for the 2-3 year old and the colors and illustrations really capture them. We started with "Red Pajama" and every once in a while, check another out from the library. They are all well received, but I think I probably like them more than my son.

This book is a great read aloud book because it is a rhyming book. It's also funny and cute and about llamas so children will love it. Also most children can relate to hating going to the store with their parents so they will connect with little llama.

This is a wonderful book on accepting things that you cannot change but rather making the best of it so time can go better. It is a great book to read about children's emotions and how tantrums are not the way to go. Very good illustrations to go with the rhyming text.

This book is about a little llama who is mad at mama because she's making him go to the store with her. He throws a tantrum because his mama isn't paying attention to him and finally gets her attention. Mama explains to him that she doesn't love going to the store either but at least she gets to spend time with her baby!!

This book is super cute and I love the message it sends! I think this book would be awesome to read to kids who usually throw tantrums because it would explain to them a little bit better why they have to run errands with their mom or dad.

I simply love this book. With its steady flow of rhyming verses, colorful pictures, and relatable situations, this books is perfect to read aloud to your toddlers and preschoolers. In this picture book, child Llama is very upset that his mom interrupts his lazy Saturday with a boring trip to the Shop-a-Rama. To his surprise, his mom dislikes the trip as much as he does but handles it better.
