I think I could possibly be one of the last moms out there to get llama llama red pajama for her little one! Could I really be? I have heard great things about it... and when I was able to pick out a book for Broxton from Little One Books , this is what I finally decided on! For those of you that do not have this book, it is time to get it!!! Llama Llama Red Pajama is a quick rhyming book about a little llama and his llama mama! Talk about lots of drama when baby llama wants mama llama! Whew! Say that ten times fast! This book is cute in that the drama unfolds as baby llama wants his mama, but she is busy at that very second! As we read it, I point out to Broxton that see? Mama is near by... she is just busy at the moment... Just go ahead and go to sleep... I am just in the other room, as is baby llama's mama! :) The illustration in this book is full of bright and fun colors! The story is of short sentences that are quick and easy to read! We were able to review this book...
