Llama Llama Misses Mama

Perfect for Kindergarten (or anyone else for that matter😍). Easy read for teaching social/emotional skills! The book came in great quality and the price was great as well. I love Anna Dewdney’s Llama, llama series and will be purchasing more.

Llama Llama Misses Mama is such a delightful and comforting read for young children. The story beautifully captures the emotions of a little llama facing the challenges of starting school and being away from his mama for the first time. The rhymes are engaging, the illustrations are vibrant and full of expression, and the storyline is easy for kids to relate to. What I love most is the gentle way it reassures children that even when apart, their loved ones will always come back. It sparked a great conversation with my child about their own feelings, and they ask to read it again and again. This book is a must-have for any young reader’s collection, especially for kids adjusting to new routines. Five stars for its charm, relatability, and important message!

I bought this book to help my daughter prepare to go to preschool. This book along with Daniel Tiger goes to school was probably the best for my daughter. My focus was to have a book that 1) helped alleviate separation anxiety, 2) show what happens at preschool & 3) is fun to read. This book hit all the marks and here’s why: 1. Main focus is on Llama Llama’s separation anxiety taking a toll on him at school. -it’s realistic of a child’s feelings and I think it helped my daughter relate to the character. -helped her see him progress through the story and eventually find school fun. -also, it was important to see his mom return at the end 2. Accurate preschool activities. -great for prepping my child for her first day at school and making school look fun. -goes through introducing yourself to your teacher, making new friends, reading, indoor activities, outdoor play, & lunch time 3. Well written story. -loved the rhyming flow of the book. It made it fun to read aloud. -emphasized Llama’s emotions which I think children can relate to; feeling very sad and not wanting to play to feeling happy and having fun.

My son is getting used to his new class. To help him adjust, I bought this book. He liked it and asked me to read it again and again. I can’t say that this book fixed his unwillingness to go to preschool but at least he enjoyed the book.

Bought this book to help my daughter transition to going to daycare after being a SAHM for 3 years. The story is great and I feel has helped her. The book was shipped well and was in good condition when arrived.

The book is about Llama llama who goes to school for the first time, and he misses mama. He holds it together for a while then starts crying. He is reminded that his "mama will come right back to you." Later, the other students win him over and he makes friends and plays together and has so much fun he almost does not notice that his mother has returned. When he sees her rushes over with a "Mama llama, you came back!", acknowledging that she did what she and the teacher promised, she came back. My two year old son just started preschool and a few weeks before the start of class I bought this book and read it to him. He doesn't talk that well yet, but he did memorize the phrases, "Miss mama", and "Mama come back to you!" When he started preschool, he cried a lot (it's his first time away from home) but when I came to pick him up he would repeat the line from the book, "Mama come back to you." I think the book really helped him prepare him for preschool (a fun place but you might feel sad that mama isn't there with you), and helped him process his fears and anxieties during the first few weeks of school. I highly recommend using this book to prepare a young child for school. On top of that, the drawings are just adorable. The faces and expressions are right on, especially Llama llama's little pout. The rhymes are well done, the story cute, and the lesson it teaches is great. Nowadays whenever my son hears a baby crying, he turns around and says, "Mama come back to you!" He thinks it is the way to soothe every baby's fears.
