Annotation: Lloyd goes around asking other animals if their mama is a llama.
Reflection: Children love simple guessing games and Lloyd the Llama asks all of his animal friends, “Is your mama a llama?” All of the animals respond with a rhyming description of their mamas, which are answered on the following pages. Children become completely engaged with the rhythm of the text and can’t wait to yell out the names of all the other mamas, in anticipation of the turning of the page to reveal the answer. Famous illustrator and author, Steven Kellogg, brings the text alive with beautifully expressive baby animals in their very detailed habitats. The book also draws on a child’s natural, inquisitive nature and they often ask at the end why Lloyd the Llama would ask all the different animals if their mama was a llama, because he should know of all animals that they don’t look like llamas. Children will ask for this game to be played and read over and over again.
