![]() ![]() A dreidel is mentioned once, but make no mistake: This is a book about Christmas, despite that word not being used even once. ![]() I also don't like the way the book keeps using the word "holiday" when it means "Christmas". I did find the rhythm of the rhyming text uncharacteristically clunky in spots. The pictures are cute (especially the one of Llama Llama when he keels over from too much holiday cheer), and the overall message is good. It's up to Mama to remind him that Christmas is about love and being there for each other. It all culminates in a tummy ache and a little llama who's had more than enough. There's so much to do! Shopping, baking, decorating. In this book, Llama Llama and Mama are busy getting ready for Christmas. (Honestly, the Llama Llama catalogue is a pretty extensive one.) I thought I'd already read a Llama Llama holiday book, but I guess it wasn't this one. ![]()
