Bedtime Story: Llama Llama Loves to Read by Anna Dewdney

Read for: Children's Book Challenge

Synopsis: "Anna Dewdney's Bestselling Llama Llama series continues with Llama learning to read!

Llama Llama learns at school. 

Counting, writing, reading, rules. 
Friends and school -- there's nothing better. 
Llama learning all the letters!

Anna Dewdney's beloved Llama Llama is growing up and learning to read! Throughout the school day, the teacher helps Llama Llama and the other children practice their letters, shows word cards, reads stories, and brings them to the library where they can all choose a favorite book. By the end of the day, Llama Llama is recognizing words and can't wait to show Mama Llama that he's becoming a reader!"


My Review: I love that we are getting new Llama Llama books! Munchkin loves these books and they always have such a great rhyme and rhythm when reading. This Llama Llama book is a little longer than some of the earlier ones but it follows Llama all the way from learning letters and their sounds to writing them and building them into words and sentences and more. It was a fun book to read with Munchkin as he recognized the different steps he went through to learn how to read. It does seem to show that Llama learns all of this in a single day, so those still learning and maybe struggling it might be a little frustrating or it could be encouraging to see the end result, this is when knowing your child really comes into play when picking a book. We loved it though and are thrilled to add it to our collection.


My Rating: We really enjoyed this book and loved having a new Llama Llama book to enjoy together. I just love the way these roll of the tongue while reading aloud.  Please just be aware that if you child is struggling to learn to read, this book could be a bit discouraging as Llama learns in a day.  We give it a rating of Four Paws and a Stump Wag!


Good Night!  Sweet Dreams!
