Review Praise for Llama Llama Gram and Grandpa: With a carefully crafted rhyming text and comforting painted images that match genuinely the emotion of a toddler’s first night away from home, this book is a charming success. -School Library Journal It’s an exciting day for Llama Llama; he’s going to visit Gram and Grandpa Llama and spend the night! His first night away from home….and from Mama. But he makes sure to pack everything he needs. And there are so many fun things to do with Gram and Grandpa. It’s not until he gets ready for bed that he realizes that he’s forgotten something important. Fuzzy Llama! Fortunately, Grandpa Llama has a wonderful solution and soon Llama Llama is having sweet dreams. From School Library Journal PreS-Dewdney tackles the topic of staying at Gram and Grandpas overnight. Llama is excited for his special visit as he packs up his clothes and his stuffed animal, Fuzzy Llama. However, when he unpacks, he realizes, rather upsettingly, that his comfort object was left behind. Gram and Grandpa spend the day distracting little Llama by playing outside or building in the workshop, but with each activity, he anxiously remembers Fuzzy Llamas absence. While the text carries along with a seemingly pleasing nighttime routine (Take a bath./Then comb and brush./Settle in for stories. Hush./Finish books/and get a kiss), the illustrations show Llama looking more distressed and anxious before bed. After Gram asks whats the matter, we watch as Llamas lips begin to quiver./Llama starts to shake and shiver./Llama needs his Fuzzy near,/but FUZZY LLAMA ISNT HERE! The following page shows all three Llamas looking at readers for help. Quickly, its Grandpa who finds a solution. Grandpa offers a special toy from when he was just a little boy. In a satisfying ending, Llama realizes hes not alone and that hes in his home… away from home. With a carefully crafted rhyming text and comforting painted images that match genuinely the emotion of a toddlers first night away from home, this book is a charming success. VERDICT Parents and caregivers will appreciate the reassuring message that this story offers for one-on-one sharing, and it will function as a heartwarming read-aloud in a bedtime-themed storytime.-Brianne Colombo, Pequannock Township Public Library, NJ About the Author Anna Dewdney was a teacher, mother, and enthusiastic proponent of reading aloud to children.
