eBook Llama Llama Red Pajama epub

This book is very well illustrated and well written. However, there are two things that I didn’t like about the book. The baby llama throws a temper tantrum and and the entire book is about his impatience with his mama. Then there is a page or two of him suddenly getting really scared of the dark and the illustrations may be a little unsettling for some young readers. The colors, big eyes, and one page of him yelling at the top of his lungs in terror for his mama. It just feels weird whenever I read it to my 2 year old. However, this is just my opinion and I know many parents out there have no problem with it. Just wanted to share in case there is another parent out there that might appreciate this heads up.

Most parents and grandparents will have a wry smile and nod of recognition while reading this book! Found this book on Amazon's book editors "100 Children's Books to Read in a Lifetime", which has been very handy in directing me toward books for our four grandchildren that had been published after my own children were young, and in reminding me of books I'd forgotten (need a new lock for that memory bank!) Anna Dewdney does a nice job of matching rhymes with her own whimsical illustrations in recreating the real-life scenes grandparents can recall with their own children (and young parents may be currently experiencing), in which Baby Llama (in his red pajamas) is read a bedtime story by Mama Llama, after which he's kissed goodnight and Mama heads downstairs to a sink full of dishes.

Baby starts feeling a bit apprehensive in the dark, and begins the usual childhood ploys for getting Mama back in the room... he needs a drink, calls out for her, but she's preoccupied with dishes and then a phone call. He begins wimpering, moaning, crying, hollering, stomping and pouting, jumping and shouting... wondering possibly "if Mama Llama's GONE?" Mama finally comes back in, a bit frustrated at first, then softening as she realizes he just needs a bit of reassurance... "Little Llama, don't you know, Mama Llama loves you so? Mama Llama's always near, even if she's not right here." After a double dose of kisses, he's then able to snuggle into his pillow and fall asleep.

Oh my goodness, did this book rattle my memory bank... though I can look back on it now and chuckle, I recall being five months into pregnancy with my second son, attempting to transition the first one (@ 2-1/2 years old) into a "big boy bed". The bottom of the baby bed had been lowered as far as it could be for quite a while, and we were nearing the time we'd have to raise it all the way back up! "Numero Uno", as I affectionately call him, was SO happy - we have a picture of him all tucked in on his first night, his trusty Glo Worm (a stuffed toy from the early '80s) at his side, great big grin on his face... until I walked out. Oh, the bedtime battle of wills between parent and child!

Sometimes all it takes is that extra bit of reassurance. That's how it was with my younger son, and with our oldest grandson. But as for my own oldest and our middle grandson (HIS son), all I could do - when "Numero Uno" told me about his struggles in trying to get his second son to stay in bed and go to sleep - was to give a wry smile and nod of recognition - and a big ol' wink! Cute book, fun to read, and certainly worth a try!

If you search on YouTube for raps of this book, there are a bunch of videos of famous rappers putting their own spin on this book. I imitate one of them when reading this to my 8 month old and he loves it. It’s the only book he pays attention to.

I've bought several copies of this book. The first one was for my DOG. He loves it and gets so relaxed by hearing the repetitive words of Llama Llama Red Pajama and he really likes it when I use my voice to be Llama's mama when she is racing up the stairs to find out why Little Llama is in such a tizzy. I make this sort of shrill yelling, like 'aahhhhhh, aahhhhhhh, aahhhhh,' to portray Llama's mama as she is running up the stairs and my American Bull Dog gets so happy and excited with that sound. HE REALLY DOES KNOW THE WHOLE BOOK. I've purchased other copies for friends. I realized the other night when I was feeling a little alone, and I was reading it by myself... that the book is really about comforting ME and so then I thought well if it can make a grown adult feel so loved, and a big mcfatty of a dog definitely feel SO LOVED, then I can only imagine how much it must fill the hearts of young children. I discovered LLRP books about a year ago and was so surprised to learn that it was first published many years ago. How had I not heard of this wonderful book and series of books by Anna Dewdney?! Then I learned that Mrs. Dewdney has passed away and my heart and mind is filled with so much sadness...I hope she knows how much love her books bring to so many. She had to be one of the most wonderful persons in the world to have created so much beauty and love. I got another copy today from Amazon to send to a special child I love. I also got the LLRP doll...for myself. Oh the places he will go with me! IMAGINE MY SURPRISE TO SEE A STICKER ON THE BOOK, LLRP, THAT SAID IT IS SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES! I can't wait; I'm so happy!

We love Llama Llama books in our house. Fun rhymes that are easy to act out and remember. The stories are easy for even the littlest kids to understand. Also, great for teaching emotions. Both our kids have autism and Anna Dewdney books have been a great resource for us.

Our two year old twins love this book. They have it memorized! They love it when I read it dramatically and say the words along with me. It has become one of our favorites. :)

Love these books. Teaches kids important concepts. Relatable to toddlers. Can remind toddler how to behave by reciting simple direct and kind statements from the book.

I don't love this book; my child does. She will stare at the pages, transfixed, for hours. Ten months old and this is hands down her favorite book. (Me, I want to drop kick the llama). The rhymes are cute and she loves the pictures. (We actually bought a llama stuffed animal just because she loves this book so much). Also, watch Ludicrous rap this book on YouTube; it's hilarious.
