Publishers Weekly Review

In his fourth outing, Llama Llama learns what many children know: waiting for Christmas is tough. Shopping, making cookies, school activities, and unpacking Christmas tree lights proves "too much everything for Llama" and he has a "Holidrama" meltdown. Luckily, Mama is there to remind him: "Sometimes we should take a rest/ and hold the ones we love the best." Dewdney delivers a familiar holiday message with grace, as Mama and Llama Llama snuggle on a tranquil spread, next to their undecorated tree. Overwhelmed by holiday excitement and expectation, Llama Llama is as relatable as ever. Ages 3-5. (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER . Join Llama Llama as he prepares to celebrate the holiday season in this festive picture book that reminds readers about the true importance of gift-giving.

Gifts are nice,
But there's another-
The true gift is
We have each other.

The holidays are getting close, but if there's one thing Llama Llama doesn't like, it's waiting. He and Mama Llama rush around, shopping for presents, baking cookies, decorating the tree . . . but how much longer until the special day arrives? Will it ever come? Finally, Llama Llama just can't wait anymore-he wants his presents now! It takes a cuddle from Mama Llama to remind him that the true meaning of the holiday season is not the gifts, but celebrating with those you love the most.

Complete with simple rhyming text and charming illustrations, this heartwarming picture book is the ideal way to introduce children to what the holidays are really about.
