Rhyming!

I LOVE, LOVE rhyming books.  There is just no way you can read a book that rhymes without any expression.  You must infuse all the expression you can when reading this book to your students! It's just so much more fun when you can rhyme words and be silly!



This book is so fun to read! It is about a little baby llama who is put to sleep but becomes frantic because he can't get his mama llama to come upstairs and bring him a drink and tuck him in one more time.  The mama llama (don't you just love how they say mama llama!), is doing dishes and the phone rings, so she does not hear her baby llama upstairs wailing.  When she finally hears baby llama crying, she runs upstairs to find nothing wrong with him; just upset that his mama llama didn't hear him!
She runs over kisses him and tucks him in bed again.  Baby llama snuggles in bed and falls asleep.

This is just a fun book for young kids to read because of the rhyming.  It's also a great way to introduce poetry to kids! The illustrations are bright and colorful!
Great book!
