Lloyd the llama is looking for his mama. "Is your mama a llama?" he asks a bat, a swan, a cow, a seal, and a kangaroo. Young children will share Lloyd's delight when the answer to his question is finally, "Yes!" With rhyme and riddle, and the perfect narration by Amy Madigan, this charming story will soon become a favorite. Animated by Virginia Wilkos.
Reviews:
Video Librarian: “…featuring a solid musical score by the wonderful Ernest V. Troost.”
Library Talk: “appealing… Characteristics of each animal can be identified…to further children’s knowledge of animal species. Recommended.”
School Library Journal: “The charming animation brings to life Kellogg’s illustrations, maintaining the animals’ charming personalities and his detailed backgrounds… an enjoyable addition for pre-school story hours.”
Lorgnette: “Because young children enjoy hearing the book over and over again, many parents and teachers will want to add this video to their collections.”
School Library Journal: “The repetition of phrases combined with the vocabulary is very useful in teaching students basic concepts and animal characteristics. Blanca Camacho’s clear narration is easy to understand. The musical score is pleasant and helps to support the charming tale…. Although most appropriate for younger children, this title may be suitable for older students just beginning to learn Spanish, or for review of basic vocabulary.” (Spanish version)
