Llama Llama Mad at Mama

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

Dewdney, A. (2007). llama llama mad at mama. New York: Viking.

This book recounts in a very funny way the difficulties of shopping at the supermarket with a little one whose patience is very limited, and who would much rather be playing than shopping. When llama llama sends everything flying off the cart, Mama llama has to make a deal with him to get him to calm down. Finally, the shopping is done, and llama llama gets a treat.

The fact that the main characters are llamas makes this book really cute for little children. It looks like the illustrations are partly oil on canvas, and the colors really stand out. Llama llama makes very funny faces that children could identify too. The text is very simple, and written in rhymes, which makes show more this book perfect for a read-aloud, and choral repetition. Ages 2-6. show less

This one is my favorite of the Llama Llama books. Dewdey's illustrations and understanding of children's mood swings are well captured in this brief story about a trip to the grocery stores, which proves to be too overwhelming for little Llama.

I enjoyed this book because the text was very engaging. This book is about a llama who is being fussy for his mom while she is trying to run errands with him. For example the mama states, "Please stop fussing little llama." The big idea behind this book is that you should behave for your mother.

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.

Who knew so many words could rhyme with "llama"? In this sequel to, "Llama llama, red pajama," a reluctant toddler llama accompanies his mom to the Shop-a-Rama. A hissy fit ensues when Llama Llama's patience runs out, but all ends well.

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.
