Amazon.com Review A Look Inside Llama Llama Holiday Drama (Click on Images to Enlarge) From School Library Journal PreS-K–The holidays are filled with fun and excitement and a lot of things to do and make, but poor Llama Llama has to wait. Patience not being his strong suit, and completely overwhelmed by all the holiday activities, he has a complete meltdown on Christmas Eve. Fortunately, Mama Llama is there to save the day with hugs and kisses and a little quiet time. Dewdney continues to display her very real understanding of preschooler mentality. This story is as familiar as a favorite ornament (and the cover glitters). Llama fans and newcomers alike will be charmed.Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library© Copyright 2010.
