Llama Llama Misses Mama Hardcover – Picture Book, March 19, 2009

This is a wonderful book when toddler is struggle with separation. We reference and re read this book in times they separation is difficult and allows connection that everyone has difficulty at times with separation fromTheir loved ones and reminds themThey always come back

Great addition to my toddlers library! Beautiful illustrations and message. I thought this would be more about missing mama, which it is, but it’s about starting school and missing mama.

Llama Llama Misses Mama is such a delightful and comforting read for young children. The story beautifully captures the emotions of a little llama facing the challenges of starting school and being away from his mama for the first time. The rhymes are engaging, the illustrations are vibrant and full of expression, and the storyline is easy for kids to relate to.What I love most is the gentle way it reassures children that even when apart, their loved ones will always come back. It sparked a great conversation with my child about their own feelings, and they ask to read it again and again.This book is a must-have for any young reader’s collection, especially for kids adjusting to new routines. Five stars for its charm, relatability, and important message!

A very good quality book that kids enjoy and learn from.

We have our toddler starting preschool soon and he loves stories. Been reading this book to him for over a month now and he's starting to talk about how he is starting preschool soon just like Llama Llama. Hopefully it helps with the first day drop off!

The book is about Llama llama who goes to school for the first time, and he misses mama. He holds it together for a while then starts crying. He is reminded that his "mama will come right back to you." Later, the other students win him over and he makes friends and plays together and has so much fun he almost does not notice that his mother has returned. When he sees her rushes over with a "Mama llama, you came back!", acknowledging that she did what she and the teacher promised, she came back.My two year old son just started preschool and a few weeks before the start of class I bought this book and read it to him. He doesn't talk that well yet, but he did memorize the phrases, "Miss mama", and "Mama come back to you!" When he started preschool, he cried a lot (it's his first time away from home) but when I came to pick him up he would repeat the line from the book, "Mama come back to you." I think the book really helped him prepare him for preschool (a fun place but you might feel sad that mama isn't there with you), and helped him process his fears and anxieties during the first few weeks of school. I highly recommend using this book to prepare a young child for school.On top of that, the drawings are just adorable. The faces and expressions are right on, especially Llama llama's little pout. The rhymes are well done, the story cute, and the lesson it teaches is great.Nowadays whenever my son hears a baby crying, he turns around and says, "Mama come back to you!" He thinks it is the way to soothe every baby's fears.

Wonderful book for kids going into school. I cried reading it to my son. It's a classic and must have.

Bought this to help my daughter with separation of going to school. It’s a cute little story!
