Llama Llama Red Pajama

Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney


Interest Level: PreK-K

Llama Llama is ready for bed.  He has brushed his teeth, put on his red pajamas, but where is Mama Llama?  In this delightful rhyming book, Llama Llama is patiently waiting for his mama to tuck him in.  But where is she? Thus begins the "Llama Drama!"

I would definitely use this book in my preschool or kindergarten classroom.  It is a simple, rhyming book that helps teach self control. The words are very simple and easy to understand.

South Carolina State Standards for ELA

The teacher will choose words from the book and have the students look at the context clues and pictures to figure out the meaning.  The words could also be placed on a word wall.
