Llama Llama Time to Share (Llama Llama)

by Anna Dewdney (Author)

Reading Level: K − 1^st Grade

Series: Llama Llama

Common Sense Media Review

Llama has a sharing drama!

Build a tower. Make a moat.
Nelly's dolly sails a boat.
What can Llama Llama add?
Maybe sharing's not so bad.

Llama Llama has new neighbors! Nelly Gnu and her mama stop by for a play date, but Llama's not so sure it's time to share all his toys. Maybe just his blocks? It could be fun to make a castle with Nelly . . . But wait--Nelly has Llama's little Fuzzy Llama! The fun turns to tears when Fuzzy Llama is ripped in two, "all because of Nelly Gnu!" Mama comes to the rescue and fixes Fuzzy, but she makes it clear: "I'll put Fuzzy on the stairs, until you're sure that you can share."

Fun to read aloud and helpful to children and parents alike, Llama Llama Time to Share is for any child who needs a little encouragement in sharing.

School Library Journal

PreS-K--When the new neighbors stop by for a visit, Mama reminds Llama Llama and Nelly Gnu to share. The two youngsters get along well until Nelly plays with Llama Llama's most cherished toy, and a brief scuffle results in Fuzzy Llama's arm being torn off. Not to worry, the toy and friendship are soon mended, leaving everyone anticipating the next playdate. Dewdney's large paintings are bright, bold, and expressive. This picture book will be a pleasure to share with friends, old and gnu.--Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ

Publishers Weekly

Starred Review

The sixth title in the bestselling Llama Llama series has the "Gnu" neighbors coming over for a visit. With Llama Llama's toys fair game for Nelly Gnu, his sharing skills are put to the test: "Oh, disaster! Dolly drama!/ Nelly Gnu has Fuzzy Llama!/ He's not hers! This isn't fair!/ Llama doesn't like to share!" A subsequent tug of war results in a lost arm for Llama's doll, but Mama Llama saves the day as the two playmates learn to collaborate. Once again, Dewdney conveys a highly relatable source of llama drama with warmth and authentically childlike characters. Ages 3-up. Agent: Deborah Warren, East West Literary Agency. (Sept.)
