Anna Dewdney wrote
Llama Llama Red Pajama for her own little llamas (her two daughters) when they were young girls. Now they are grown, and the bestselling Llama Llama series continues to comfort and entertain new generations of children. Anna was a strong proponent of reading aloud to children, but she also loved to see how excited they were when they could begin to read on their own.
PRAISE FOR LLAMA LLAMA RED PAJAMA:“Dewdney gives a wonderfully fresh twist to a familiar nighttime ritual with an adorable bug-eyed baby llama, staccato four-line rhymes, and page compositions that play up the drama.” —
Booklist “With its sweet rendering of the trials of bedtime and separation anxiety, this book's familiar theme will be a hit with youngsters.” —School Library Journal
