It's Little Llama's first day at school. What could be harder than feeling all alone and missing your mama? As always, Dewdney's rhymes flow effortlessly, with a pacing and repetition that are sure to capture the attention of little llamas everywhere. This is my favorite new read-aloud title.

About the Author

Anna Dewdney was a teacher, mother, and enthusiastic proponent of reading aloud to children. She continually honed her skills as an artist and writer and published her first Llama Llama book in 2005. Her passion for creating extended to home and garden and she lovingly restored an 18th century farmhouse in southern Vermont. She wrote, painted, gardened, and lived there with her partner, Reed, her two daughters, two wirehaired pointing griffons, and one bulldog. Anna passed away in 2016, but her spirit will live on in her books.
