We stumbled on this book in our local library and my 2 1/2 year old daughter and I loved it! I just ordered it today and can't wait to have it as a regular in our line-up. The rhyming story was really nice, the colors and illustrations really eye-catching and creative, and such a good portrayal of how a little one can get mad and frustrated. I loved the way the Mama helped the Llama feel better through her patience and connection instead of anger -- such a good lesson in love and patience.

What Parents Need to Know
About Llama Llama Mad at Mama
Parents need to know that the young llama has a temper tantrum and throws things in a store, but the mood of the book is very light and peace is made at the end.

Funny, But Makes You Think
LLama is bored during the trip to the grocery store riding in the grocery cart. Great rhymes and great book. I also recommend Ladybug Baby Bug, by Janice and Mark Perkins, for this age group. Both books have loveable characters and wholesome, family messages.
