llama llama home with mamaMother’s Day is coming up this Sunday, May 12th. There are so many wonderful picture books that depict a mother and child relationship.  Some of my favorite books about that special bond are the Llama Llama series by Anna Dewdney.  Little Llama Llama is just like any other kid.  Sometimes he gets scared at night, or throws a tantrum at the store, or he just doesn’t feel very well.   Lucky for him, he always has his Mama around to love him no matter what.  Toddlers and preschoolers love these books and they are perfect for reading at night while cuddling with your own little llamas.

Have you ever noticed the rows upon rows  of canvas bags behind the information desk at the library? Ever wonder what is inside of them?
We understand how important it is for parents to have reading materials that they can share with children. To assist you with the task of obtaining reading materials we created storytime kits. Each kit can be checked out for a two week period. They include 10 to 13 picture books and have been developed with fun themes such as; dinosaurs, community helpers, princesses and much more!  You can see an example of one of the kits in my Wild West Book blog and there is a full list of themes listed below.
