Overview

Strange new teacher.
Strange new toys.
Lots of kids and lots of noise!

What would Llama like to do?
Llama Llama feels so new . . .

It's Llama Llama's first day of preschool! And Llama Llama's mama makes sure he's ready. They meet the teachers. See the other children. Look at all the books and games. But then it's time for Mama to leave. And suddenly Llama Llama isn't so excited anymore. Will Mama Llama come back?

Of course she will. But before she does, the other children show Llama Llama how much fun school can be!

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
"Strange new teacher. Strange new toys. Lots of kids and lots of noise! What would Llama like to do? Llama Llama feels so new." Like many other llamas and non-llamas, the title character of this book greets his first day of preschool with excitement and anticipation. What he hadn't anticipated was that Mama Llama wouldn't be there for the full day! A reassuring story for every preschooler and every preschooler-to-be.
Publishers Weekly

Llama Llama starts school in the third of Dewdney's gentle series. When Mama Llama waves goodbye to Llama Llama, he starts to feel sad. Despite Llama Llama's trepidations, bright colors and bold patterns make the school welcoming: the teacher is a hip zebra wearing pink and purple, and the other children (cat, goat, sheep and giraffe, among others) enthusiastically make art and play together. Slowly, Llama Llama comes around and decides that "he loves Mama... and school too!" The expressive animal faces and attention to detail make it a charming addition. Ages 4-8. (Mar.)

From The Critics
Bright and early one morning Mama Lama awakens her little one and goes through the busy morning routine before driving him to preschool. Meeting the teacher, Llama hangs back and when Mama leaves he shyly waves good-bye from the window. Clutching his stuffed "lovie" Llama does not join in the games or activities, eats alone, and sheds quiet tears for the Mama he wants to return. Classmates sensitive to his feelings gently lure him into the rest of the days schedule until before he knows it… Mama is back. He runs to her open arms and at day's end concedes that he not only loves Mama but school, too. This universal childhood experience is treated with warmth and sensitivity. His anxiety over being separated from Mama is palpable as is his joy at her return. Rhyming couplets move the story along and the oil paintings with their soft palette accurately portray little Llama's range of emotions. This is perfect preparation and reassurance for little ones embarking on their first steps away from Mom. Reviewer: Beverley Fahey

    Endearing Llama Llama

    This is the third Llama Llama book my children have and it might be the best yet. Llama Llama is still as endearing as ever in this story about growing up. Of course, Mama is here to provide love and support to Llama Llama. A wonderful book!

    Llama Llama Missing Momma is a winner for two year olds

    I bought this book as an present for my twin grandsons who are almost two. They already have Llama Llama Red Pajama and Llama Llama Mad at Momma. They love this one as much as the others. Every night they after their baths they go get the three books and we read them. They start crying when you are done with all three and want you to read them again. All you have to say to get them laughing is Llama Llama. It's really great. They will sit still for an hr with those books. Can't wait until there is another one.

    Great book

    My daughter really enjoys this book. She has even talked about how llama shouldn't be scared and how making friends is fun. I always reassure my girls we will always come back and get them, she commented on that at the end of the book. Buy all 3, you won't regrett it :)

    Great for the Pre School Age!

    I snuggled my 4 year old and he said "I don't think I like this book" BUT after 2 pages he loved it and begged me to read it again and again since last month, llama llama has become the top requested books. Charming stories and rhymes and art work. I think this helps kids learn about chores, being afraid and missing their parent and we talk about what llama can do to feel better or make shopping more fun. Great present idea!

    3 yo LOVES llama llama!

    I got this story for my 3yo daughter, she LOVES this story because you can use excitement, sad, wonder, or any other emotion when reading this book and children just love it! They can really relate to baby llama, they feel his fear and shyness and sadness, as well as his excitement when mama llama returns... GREAT story the preschoolers will just LOVE!!!! There is one point in the story where the teacher is reading a story and baby llama says "llama llama hates that book"... but I just substitute "llama llama doesn't like that book" instead... but all-in-all, I give it 5 stars!!!

    Great Buy

    One of the best books I've bought for my daughters! The cover first caught my attention and the story lines and rhyming sealed the deal. My daughters love to have books read to them and this is one that they ask for every night at bedtime. My three year old is into finding words that rhyme and this book sure fits her. She's getting ready to start preschool in the fall and Llama Llama Misses Mama is helping us teach her what to expect. We have also purchased Llama Llama Mad at Mama and absolutely love the story. I'm sure many mothers and fathers can relate to having their children lose their calm while shopping. Looking forward to buying the other Llama Llama books.

    Great Book!

    My five year old loves all of the Llama, Llama books- it is sort of our special thing to read them.
    This book was great because he will be going to Kindergarten next year and it helped to address some of the fears of starting somewhere new. He even took it to his preschool class to share. All of the kids loved it.

    Worthwhile Purchase

    My two grandkids 4 and 2 loved this book. They insisted it be read to them no less than 10 times a day for 5 days. The 4 y/o is starting preschool and he really enjoyed listening and then reading it to me. The 2 y/o loved the pictures and the rhyming. Absolutely kept them engaged. Get the hardback.

    Love the Llama series

    We love the Llama Llama series in our home. While it lacks the same extraordinarily high level of appeal of "Llama Llama Red Pajama," it is a wonderful well-written children's book.

    Great for Back to School

    This is a great back to school book or for little ones entering school for the first time. It relates to the feelings the kids have going to school better than other school books and then, of course, ends with mama llama coming back and little llama figuring out that he can love school and mama too. Used this for my kindergartener and preschooler and they both loved it.

    Great book if your child is feeling anixous about preschool or even daycare

    My 2 and 4 year old girls just love the llama llama books and so do I! Funny how as parents sometime we try to avoid books with a lot of words. I think this is a happy medium and definately has a great message in all 3 books that teaches children good lessons about life and growing up!

    WE LOVE LLAMA LLAMA SERIES!!!

    We purchased this after falling in love with the first "Red Pajama" book, and adding the second "Mad at Mama" book to our collection. This is typical of the series--cute, bouncy, flowing, fun to read, etc. I've turned my sister, brother, and their children on to this series as well. My 4 and almost 2 year-old girls LOVE them. As a parent, I love reading them. The rhythm, as well as illustrations, make it fun for "big kids" too. And oh the opportunities for doing character voices...I LOVE IT!
