Is Your Mama a Llama?


Is Your Mama a Llama? By Deborah Guarino and illustrated by Steven Kellogg, 1989

Brief annotation:
A young llama asks his friends if their mamas are llamas and finds out, in rhyme, that their mothers are other types of animals.
Themes include animals, rhyming, parent/child relationships

As with any predictable books, this book help bolster confidence for young and/or struggling readers as they are able to guess what is about to be said. The use of repetition, rhyming and pictures help students know what the words will be so they can become successful and confident readers.
