Here's another cute Llama Llama book, perfect for reading aloud when the kids are feeling under the weather.
Llama Llama wakes up feeling gross. He's got a cold, so he has to stay home from school. Mama takes care of him, feeding him soup and making sure he gets enough rest. But just when he starts feeling a little bit better, Mama comes down with the same thing! Although Llama Llama is feeling kind of bored, he steps up and tries to make his mom feel better.
It's a sweet book with a sweet message. I could've done without some of the rhymes about snot, but kids will probably love them. This is yet another wonderful Llama Llama book to add to your collection.

Llama Llama Home with Mama by Anna Dewdney is the fifth of the Llama Llama books and the first one I've read with my daughter. I don't know if she's been reading them at school or just heard about them from her friends, but she insisted on adding this volume to her collection of books.
Llama Llama wakes up not feeling right. After a failed attempt at breakfast, Mama Llama sends him back to bed. He's staying home from school today. Mama knows just what he needs and later when she catches the same cold, it's his turn to take charge.
Told in an easy rhyming scheme and adorable illustrations, this is a book that lends itself to group reads and re-reads. My favorite page has Llama Llama in bed, sticking his tongue out. He looks so fed up with being sick and he's only just been put to bed.
I think we'll go back and read the other four books.

Poor Llama Llama is feeling sick, so he stays home with Mama Llama. Before the day is over, Mama Llama also starts to sneeze and have a sore throat. Luckily, Llama Llama knows just what to do! My favorite part of this one: the word "shnorltes." Too fun! I highly recommend this series for bedtime read-alouds and/or beginning readers. And of course, this is the perfect book to read when you are feeling under the weather and need a story to cheer you up!

This is the latest installment of the Llama Llama series. Again, I am forced to read this book 3x in a row. This is my children's favorite series.
I love the interaction between Mama Llama and Llama Llama. My kids seem to relate well to the stories because Llama Llama reminds them of themselves. We have read it so often that my kids say the ending word (so they help me rhyme). This author has done a really good job of telling cute story that entertains kids. I especially like towards the end when Mama Llama catches Llama Llama's cold, and now Llama Llama is doing the stuff mama did for him.
Nice read for daytime or bedtime.

Another good book we read at bedtime.
The book reminds me of my time home with my kids as I type. It is full of home with momma and sickness. It is great to be able to do take care of my kids and work on projects with them at home.
The setting is great in a home and being able to spend time with momma, unfortunately the circumstances stink, but it is great. It is a good read for anytime. My youngest loves the books since I have started reading them to him. He has asked me to buy more.

Llama Llama is sick and must stay home from school. His mother sends him back to bed and gives him gross cough medicine. As Llama Llama starts to feel better, his mama becomes sick. Llama Llama knows just what to do. His mama needs a rest. He brings her tissues, a cup, a comfy pillow and books. Soon he's taking good care of Mama Llama and her cold.
This adorable picture book will have readers engrossed in the story. The rhyming words are easy and the acrylic-style pictures connect with the text. The story will bring back memories of being ill and the loving care of Mom, or a caregiver, provides to make them feel better. It also shows children how to take care of their mom when she is sick.

Another cute Llama Llama story. My daughter enjoyed looking at the pages and listening to the rhymes. This is a hardback book so had to be more careful than the board books.

Llama Llama Home with Mama is a lighthearted book written and illustrated by Anna Dewdney. This book is about Llama Llama feeling sick, and having to stay home from school. When he wakes up, he feels yucky, and sneezes on his way down the stairs. His throat hurts, and he has a fever, so Mama Llama sends him back to his room, and brings him some gross medicine. In bed he played, listened to a book, and went to sleep. But as Llama Llama was starting to feel better, Mama Llama was starting to get sick. She sneezed, and got a head ache, coughed, and had a sore throat. After she got sick, Llama Llama took care of her because he was so bored. So he gave her tissues, water, and books, and let her rest. This story is super heartwarming, and I enjoyed it. The pictures Dewdney drew were fantastic! They correlated well with the story, and were realistic. The inside pages were covered with illustrations of coffee, juice, crayons, tissues, and cough medicine, which were a cool little insight that the author put in the book to help hint as to what the story is about. This would be a great book to use in school when teaching children about germs. This would be good for children ages 4-7.

This book had an intriguing plot, kept me on the edge of my seat!! It took me a few weeks to work my way through it, but well worth it.

Llama Llama's not feeling too good. He's sneezing and coughing, so he must stay home with mama. Playing with his toys is no fun, so Mama Llama brings him a book to read and he begins to sleep. Then Mama Llama gets sick too and they don't what to do. So, they sit down and read together.
I like this book, I think it is really cute for all mothers. The illustrations are beautiful. The noses are red and there are tissues everywhere. I also really enjoyed the rhyme scheme in this book. I think it makes the words flow so much better. It makes it almost sound like poetry.
I could use this book for a mothers day activity. I could have the students brainstorm all the things they think their mothers do for them. Then we could different books about mothers and have the students decide if their mothers do all things talked about in the books. Then I could have the students write a thank you letter to their mothers (or whoever takes care of them) and make her a gift. This book could also be used for a rhyming lesson. I could have the students write down their rhymes on an index card then run up to the board stick them to the board. Then we could go over their rhymes as a class and talk about what makes a rhyme a rhyme. I could also use this book with older students to talk about rhyme schemes. Then I could have them write their own rhyme schemes.

These books are gold. My girls love them! We are used to the short simple "Llama Llamas", such as "Llama Llama Red Pajama" and "Llama Llama Nighty-Night", so we were pleasantly surprised when this book was lengthy and written in a story-telling fashion. What I loved about it: Its realistic depiction of sickness running through a household. I didn't know until I had my first child that sicknesses last a month because it passes from one person to another. When Mama gets sick in this story, I laughed at first, then instantly related. Was I just looking at myself?

The Llama Llama books are a WONDERFUL series for your very young readers up through preschool age. After preschool age, these are great books for your beginning reader to start to read out loud. The rhyming text and beautiful illustrations make this a fun book to read. And as a parent, I appreciate that Dewdney also includes a wonderful message and/or learning moment for your reader.
This book has to be based on a true story and should have probably been labeled non-fiction and placed in the parenting section. (hahaha, but seriously) I am currently living this situation now. UGH!

Llama Llama Home with Mama by Anna Dewdney is a heartwarming story that captures the essence of a little llama's day at home with his mother. The story unfolds as Llama Llama wakes up feeling under the weather and is unable to go to school. The narrative explores the comforting and nurturing role of a mother as she tends to her unwell child. Vibrant and expressive illustrations bring the characters to life, making it an engaging read for young children. The rhyming text adds a playful rhythm to the story, making it enjoyable for both children and adults.

Llama Llama is sick at home with his mama and is being taken care of by his mama. Once he begins to feel better though his mama begins to feel sick and it is Llama's turn to take care of his mama. I thought this story was an entertaining way to talk about illness and what parents will do to take care of their children. This story is a good story to use to talk to kids about the importance of helping others feel better and overall just helping other people.

It is very common, at least in our house, for mama to end up sick if either of the kids are. Books are always a favorite, regardless of health. The catch is staying awake and avoiding any headaches to enjoy the reading. No one is ever happy when they are sick, but company and something to do when exhaustion doesn't win are always good things.

As always, I love the rhythm of these books (none of them quite match the Ludacris version of "Llama Llama Red Pajama" but he hasn't gotten around to rapping the other titles yet). This book is realistic to me since it shows how quickly and HORRIBLY you can catch an illness from your own kid (traitor).

Llama Llama wakes up feeling sick so mama sends him back to bed and takes care of him. The book works with great rhymes and a loving mama. The illustrations in the book are realistic and show how loving his mama is. I give this book a 3 because it teaches a great lesson to the kids while talking about rhymes.

This book was a perfect read for us this week!
We have been fighting the cold so Kyleigh was really able to relate to the medication, sneezing and just plain old feeling crummy.
She also loved they rhyming in the book. Her class at school has really been focusing on rhyming lately so she had fun coming up with other rhyming words as we read along.
I really enjoy the Llama Llama series!

This one is cute. Some of the other Llama Llama books are better stories, but this started a good discussion with the kindergarteners on how to help out sick parents. The kids were excited to share stories about what they have done to help out around their homes when their parents were feeling under the weather. Now the only question that remains is... how many of them were true? Lol.

A sweet story about a sick Llama learning what makes him feel better, and taking care of his sick mama llama. A bit gross with all the descriptions of runny noses and snot (which I'm sure kids would enjoy). Sweet story and illustrations as always with this series.
February 15, 2019
Uh oh.. Little Llama is sick. This is a great rhyming book for reading aloud in class. Its good to read before flu season... to remind children about keeping germs away, so that they don't end up in bed feeling bad.
September 5, 2019
I LOVE llama llama! This book is great for rhyming. Also could be good to talk about helping others and being kind. Because momma helps llama then llama returns the favor for momma. There is also some good action words and vocabulary.

Not as good as , but still pretty good!

Our preschoolers love the Llama Llama books this year (maybe due to the Netflix series?). They made so many connections with this book and being at home sick. It’s great for young ELL students, as it’s relatable and builds their vocabulary about everyday life.
