From Barnes & Noble
A young llama is curious - are all his friends' mamas llamas? Each animal tells Lloyd facts about it's mother, and Lloyd-along with young readers-guesses what kind of animal each mother is. The rhyming text and illustrations give hints, and preschoolers will enjoy yelling out the answers, which are revealed by turning the page.Children's Literature
A young llama asks all of his friends about their mothers in this entertaining family book. Amusing characters include a bat, a swan, and a kangaroo. The story allows the audience to anticipate the punch line of each sequence by requiring the reader to turn the page to complete the final rhyme of each segment. The illustrations are vibrant, and the narrative follows a nice pattern where the title question is repeated five times before an affirmative answer is finally found. Children can infer the simple lesson from this book that all infants belong to the same species as their mothers. 2004 (orig. 1989), Scholastic, Ages 3 to 7.—Seth Berg
