Every parent knows that while the holidays are a magical time for children, they can be a difficult time to be patient, too (heck, many adults we know feel that way). Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama Holiday Drama(40 pages, Viking Juvenile, 2010) addresses the joys and frustrations felt by children during the holiday season in a heartfelt and humorous way.
Llama Llama, the eponymous protagonist of Anna Dewdney's
popular series of books, finds it hard to wait until Christmas is finally here, especially with all the shopping, activities, cookie baking, decorating, and more. Finally, it's up to Mama Llama to set things right and help her child understand not only the need for patience but what's really important during the holiday season.
Children will identify with the characters and situations in Llama Llama Holiday Drama. Highly recommended for preschoolers and kindergarten age kids, and younger ones as well. Find it at your local library, bookstore, or Amazon.com.
