Why read it?

2 authors picked Llama Llama Red Pajama as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

For a kid who hates going to bed, my little one certainly loves this story.

Little Llama’s facial expressions make him laugh, and the range of emotions he experiences matches up with Little Llama’s perilous experience of having to go to bed exactly.

My son enjoys pointing out Little Llama’s stuffie that he sleeps with and shows me his in turn. And I, as a parent, feel Mama Llama’s desire to get the kiddo to bed, finish those chores up, and maybe go to sleep herself quite keenly. 

My 15-month-old grandson and his friends love this book and I love reading it to them.

The rhymes are so much fun and children love repeating llama llama and red pajama. The book talks about why Mama Llama can't always respond to her baby right away when she's busy. It can help a conversation about independence and why Little Llama shouldn't be worried if Mama Llama isn't there.
