A Couch for Llama di Leah Gilbert
Who doesn't love llama books?! My storytime kids loved this book. I mean, a couch and a llama. What could possibly go wrong? ;) What was really fun was to the see the little nuances the kids picked up on--from the end papers to the couch getting fixed (don't ask). I was actually surprised.
As soon as I saw that cover I knew I had to absolutely have this book.
The Lago family loves their old blue couch. Blonde mother, dark-haired and dark-skinned father, and three children with light brown skin and dark hair (or dark fuzz in the case of the baby) have many happy days reading, cuddling, playing, and chasing their cute little black scotty dog. But the couch has seen better days... it's time for a new couch.
Unfortunately, on their way back from the city with a brand new, cheerful red couch tied on top of the car, it slips off! And that's when the fun begins. Discovering this strange object in his field, Llama tries to be friendly. He tries to share. He does a few taste tests. Finally, he figures out what a couch is for - comfy sitting!
When the Lago family returns and finds their couch, Llama has settled in. Is there a way to make everyone happy?
The simple text is delightful, and just the right length for storytime. The real star here are the soft, expressive illustrations and especially that goofy llama! Drawing on familiar plots of stories like The Mitten, where an animal discovers a piece of furniture or clothing and tries to figure out what it is, Llama's efforts to figure out what the couch is for just made me giggle repeatedly. His little friend the blue bird, expressive ears, and stubborn demeanor are just icing on the couch-cake.
Verdict: You must have this for storytime immediately! Buy at once!
