Age: Preschool-Kindergarten

The act of learning to read is the main focus in this Llama Llama addition but without a true story. Lots of literacy covered here, from learning the alphabet to decoding to sight words to background knowledge to the love of reading--it all manages to get mentioned but with so much, there's no real story and the book feels strictly didactic at the end. The rhymes were fun and the celebration of reading is achieved but look elsewhere for an emerging reader story with more depth.
