Response/Rating: 4, this book was absolutely adorable. As I was reading it I found myself smiling and knowing the feeling both of llama llama being upset, and mama llama as he gets upset. The wording is ridiculously addicting! It is short and sweet, yet tells a detailed story. The physical features of this book were attractive to youngsters as well, with the hard cover, bright pages and pages that were easy for small hands to hold.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Where is your least favorite store to shop at?
